MAIL AND ADDRESS BOOK

Using blacklists and whitelists to filter mail
To help filter out unwanted e-mail, the Domino server can be configured to use blacklists to specify hosts or domains responsible for sending unwanted e-mail to you. When blacklist filters are enabled, any e-mail from a host on the blacklist is tagged. Although you cannot see the tag, your Notes mail system recognizes it and you can create a mail rule to act on messages that have a blacklist tag. For example, you may want to create a rule that sends all blacklist tagged e-mails to a folder called SPAM:
In addition to blacklists, Domino also tags e-mails with whitelist tags. A whitelist is a list of exceptions to hosts or domains on a blacklist. To take advantage of the Domino server's whitelist, you can set a mail rule to act on messages that have a whitelist tag.

If blacklist and whitelist filters are enabled on the Domino server, your Domino Administrator can supply you with the list of names on the lists. You can also find this information in the Domino Directory. To view the lists, open the Domino Directory (NAMES.NSF) and expand Configurations. Open the server Configurations document - Router/SMTP - Restrictions and controls - SMTP Inbound Controls. The lists display under the DNS Blacklist Filters and DNS Whitelist Filters.
