Spam Filter lists allow you to filter (or auto-mark
for deletion) messages by such criterions as Sender,
Recipient and Subject/Textual Parts. There are
four lists in Mail Box Dispatcher: Blacklist,
Whitelist, Bad Phrases
and Allowed Recipients.
Blacklist is a list of unwanted
senders. Use it to add senders whose messages
you don't want to receive. Mail Box Dispatcher
recognizes a message as Blacklisted if it isn't
Whitelisted and its 'From' contains any of Blacklist
strings.
Whitelist is a list of 'friendly'
senders. Use it to add your friends and senders
whose messages you wish to prevent from deletion
by other filter lists. Mail Box Dispatcher recognizes
a message as Whitelisted if its 'From' contains
any of Whitelist strings.
Bad Phrases is a list of bad
words, phrases, clauses, etc.. Use it to filter
messages that contain these words and phrases.
Mail Box Dispatcher recognizes a message as 'Bad
Phrased' if its 'Subject' or 'Textual Parts' contains
any of Bad Phrases strings.
Allowed Recipients is a list
of allowed recipients. If a message has been sent
to a recipient that is not in the list, it will
be filtered. List is empty by default. This means
that all recipients are allowed.
