Avoid important mail filtering : MailWasher

                Not all spam is dirty, but MailWasher aims to clean it all up. Sometimes definitely clean and good mail falls victim to the filtering, though. Newsletters are particularly likely to become false positives, even in MailWasher.

To prevent your favorite newsletters from being filtered as spam by MailWasher, you can add their senders as friends. I've whitelisted "about.com" in this way to ensure I'm always getting my techsupp247 updates, for example.

Make Sure MailWasher Doesn't Think Important Mail is Spam

Steps to tell MailWasher what important messages and newsletters are not spam.

•     Select Tools | Blacklist & friends list from the menu in MailWasher.

•     Click Add... on the right, the Friends list side.

•     Make sure Plain email address is selected.

•     Type email address you want to whitelist in MailWasher.

                 To whitelist a complete domain, precede the domain name with the wildcard character '*' which matches any character ("*domain.com", for example).

•      To whitelist all updates from TechSupp247 type "*TechSupp247.com".

•     Click OK.

•     Click OK again. 

MailWasher supports Windows 9x/ME/NT/2000/ Windows XP/Vista.
