- Log in with your Campus NetID and password.
- Click the "Lists" tab on the left side of the window (to add, edit or delete addresses in your Safe and Block lists).
- Enter the address or domain in the text window.
- Press the Save button. The email address will be added to your Safe Senders or Blocked Senders list, depending on which you chose.
Safelist
- If you want to always receive email from certain domains and email addresses, click on Safe Senders List.
- You can add an entire domain so that any email address that ends with that domain can be placed on the Safe or Blocked Senders list.
- The domain name appears after the ‘@’ in an email address. For example, if the recipient is 'client2020@example.com', the domain is: ‘example.com.’
- NOTE: You may add an entire domain, but do not include any wildcards (e.g. *). For example, if you wish to block or allow all email from 'example.com', enter 'example.com' as the domain.
- You can also click "Not Spam" in the digest and that will allow the sender's emails through in the future.
- You can add an entire domain so that any email address that ends with that domain can be placed on the Safe or Blocked Senders list.
Blocklist
- If you never want to receive email from a certain domain or email address, click on Blocked Senders List.
