I am So Confused About Safe Sender List and Safe Recipient List

Greetings,

I am setting up Outlook in Microsoft Office 2003 and I want to add domains
to the Safe Senders list and the Safe Recipients list.

I am so confused. Are the people on my Safe Sender list people I send email
to or is the list for people who send email to me.

I know this seems silly but I became confused as I was trying to set up this
feature.

Thank you in advance for your kind help and comments,

Miss Leigh

Safe Senders = The email address (or domain) that is found in the From
Address of a received message

Safe Recipients = The email address (or domain) that is found in the To/CC
address of a received message

So in the above, lets assume that I joined a mailing list where group
members send to a command address of [email protected]. I could
list [email protected] as a safe recipient because I never want it
treated as spam and it is too cumbersome to add the email address (or
domain) of every user of that list to my safe senders list.

Does that help?

neo,

Yes, thank you very much.

I did not realize that both referred to received messages. That is why I was
confused.

Thanks again,

Miss Leigh
