Whitelist Senders Per User
- Admins can permit certain senders for specific recipients - even if those senders are blacklisted elsewhere for other users.
- Senders can be manually whitelisted for a specific recipient, or can be imported from .csv. They can also be added after a user request.
- All filtering is disabled for whitelisted senders to specific recipients.
- Comodo strongly recommends you only use this option after analyzing the request is genuine and warranted.
Configure
sender whitelist per user
- Click 'Domain Rules' >
'Whitelist senders per user' in the left-hand menu.
The 'Whitelist senders per user' interface opens:

Add Senders to Whiltelist Per User
You can add senders to whitelist in the following ways:
Administrators can manually specify the whitelisted sender and corresponding recipient as follows:
- Click the 'Add' button
The 'Add sender' dialog box opens:
- Sender - Enter the sender's username in the first text box and sender's email domain name after the @ symbol.
- Recipient - Enter the recipient's name in the first text box in the second row. Note: The recipient should be a valid user.
- Click
'Save' button. Repeat the process to add more whitelisted
senders for the user.
Import senders from a CSV file
Administrators can import multiple senders at a time from a comma separated value (CSV) file to sender whitelist per user. The list of whitelisted senders and respective recipients are created using notepad or a speadsheet application like MS Excel or OpenOffice Calc and saved in .csv format. Each line in the .csv file should contain the sender's email address and the username of the recipient or sender's email address and the recipient's email address, separated by a comma. An example is shown below:
sender1@anydomain.com, recipient1
sender2@anydomain.com, recipient2@domain.com
sender3@somedomain.com, recipient3
