New Senders
The New Senders filter identifies emails that have been received from senders to whom emails have never been sent before. Such senders are identified by referencing the data collected in the Whitelist.
Only emails in which no spam is detected and where the sender is not present in any Whitelist are triggered by the New Senders filter.
This filter is NOT enabled by default.
Important
Enable at least one of the available Whitelists to use the New Senders function. In the absence of the Whitelist functions (should no spam be detected by the other filters) received messages will be delivered to the recipient’s Inbox. ONLY emails in which no spam was detected and whose senders are not present in the Whitelist are delivered in the New Senders folder.
