Junkmail: "Safe Recipients"

[Schooner]

Is "Safe Recipients" the cure to "all email from self assumed spoofed despite
Safe Sender Rules" issue? Can anyone offer a concise description of "Safe
Sender" function? All I can find on MS site is a rather opaque explanation
that "Safe Sender" may be necessary when subscribed to a
listserver-originated broadcast.

What is your issue?
You would mark someone as a Safe Sender when emails of that person go to
your Junk Email Folder. This is indeed often the case with automated emails
like a list server.

I seek to clarify the difference between "Safe Sender" and "Safe Recipient"
in MS Outlook 2007. The reason I seek the clarification is: (a) while "Safe
Sender" appears to be a straightforward "this sender is not a spammer" flag,
"Safe Recipient" is opaque; and (b) the underlying problem: all email from my
own various accounts is treated as Junk notwithstanding Safe Sender status
and/or using the "Mark as Not Junk" process.

A Safe Recipient can be an address list you belong to. In those cases your
address is not in the "To:" field but the email address of the address list.
In the case that the "From:" field of the address list can be different and
you don't always know the sender (like on a discussion list), you'd mark the
address of the address list as a Safe Recipient to prevent it from going to
the Junk Email folder.

Recipient" in MS Outlook 2007.

The Safe Sender list is for sender addresses you wish Outlook to consider
safe. The Safe Recipients list is where you put the addresses of mailing
lists to which you are subscribed.

Clear. Thanks Roady & Brian.
