Creating an allowlist

To use an allowlist to ensure that emails from certain senders are delivered, proceed as follows:

2. Give the rule a name (for example Allowlist), enable it, enable Level of Trust as well as content filtering, make the other settings as shown in the image and click Next.
   
3. Tick the check box for Restrict this rule to address patterns or user groups and click Add.

5. Click Save and close and then Next.
6. Leave the settings under IP filtering unchanged, under Filters, select the option Accept the email and click Next.

What you can also do

NoSpamProxy rates an email as trustworthy if one of the bonuses described above is at least 40 points. The prerequisite for this is that the conditions mentioned at Creating an allowlist are fulfilled. If you want to ensure that emails from a specific partner are delivered, set the trust value fixed to 40 or higher. See Editing partner domains. We also recommend that you make some form of authentication a pre-requisite for all bonuses. See Authentication as a prerequisite for all bonuses.
