Outlook problems?

mdg66 · 05-26-2005, 11:29 AM

Does any one know what at "White list" is? I keep getting an error that reads The address emailaccount#1.com is not in the white list of emailaccount#2.com. On this PC which is XP there are two users, myself and another. With two separate emails that read get rolled over from one account. That way we both see eachothers mail. For some reason my partner in crime is getting the above error (account name changed for security reasons) and my account will not recieve anything at all. Never heard of a White list. Any help would be appreciated.

I have found the answer. The "White List" is a list of emails accounts that are trusted and if the account is listed in the "White List" it will have not problems going through the mail server. If the email account address is in the "Black list" it will be banned from going through. If the account is on neither list the spam block will make the choice if it can come through. At least this is what I was told. As for my problems they are working fine now.
