White-listed Requests
- The 'Quarantine' interface lets users view emails intended for them but moved to quarantine.
- The interface also lets users request that senders are added to the whitelist – usually because they think the mail is from a legitimate sender.
- The whitelist request will be sent to you via email and also added to the Email Management > Whitelisted Requests interface. You can approve or reject the requests.
- Senders added to the white-list after a request will only be white-listed for the requester.
- Subsequent mails from the sender to the user in question will be allowed without antispam checks.
- See Sender Whitelist and Whitelist Senders Per User for more details.
Open the whitelisted requests interface
-
Click 'Email management' on the left then select ''Whitelisted requests'.
The interface shows all white-list requests from users. The list has columns which show requesting user, subject, sender, recipients, CC list, date sent, the reason they were quarantined and the size of the email. The last column shows whether there is any attachment with the mail.
The details such as user, subject, sender, recipient , date, reason and size of the mails requested for whitelisting can be viewed in two ways:
View details of whitelisted requests in
the same CSEG window:
- Select the mail that you want to view and click the 'Show Message' button.
OR
- Click on the email link in the subject column that you want to view its details.
The details of the selected email will be displayed.
To view the email headers, which
contain the tracking information of the mail detailing the path it
has crossed before reaching the recipient, click 'All headers' tab.
The headers give full details of the sender, route, recipient, sent
date, mail type and so on and enable you to check the authenticity of
the mail.
Check the
details of the mail and ascertain whether it is a spam mail or not.
You can choose to either accept the mail or reject it for whitelisting the sender. If the request is accepted, the
sender will be added to 'Whitelist
sender per user'. If it is rejected,
the email will be no longer in the whitelisted requests list. Please
note that emails will continue to remain in the Quarantined list irrespective of the action taken.
