Import from White list file or Black list file stored in your computer:

Black Lists: A black list is a list of known bad (Spammer) addresses. These addresses are imported with a Blocked control. It is generally NOT recommended to import Black Lists, as the Passcode Authentication algorithm will quarantine unknown senders until they pass the authentication process.

White Lists: A white list is a list of trusted email addresses. These addresses are imported with an Allowed control. Importing white lists provides a means to allow email messages from no-respond addresses. A no-respond address is an address, which sends you email but does not receive email, like a receipt for something you bought on the Internet.
