"Safe Recipient?"

[Tom]

Just upgraded to Office 2003, and was shortly thereafter puzzled by the
"safe recipient" list.

Help doesn't offer help (that I could find) beyond how to add people to
this list, but doesn't explain the text in the dialog box, which states
that e-mail sent to safe recipients "will never be treated as junk mail."

Why would my own mail client EVER treat mail that I create and send from
it as "junk mail?"

Is that implying that certain things I send are not really sent if
"perceived" as junk, unless of-course, it's to a "safe reipient?"

And if so, how do I shut that off?

Very confusing and convoluted... Can someone help clear this up for me?

Thanks!

Tom, I the safe recipients list does not have any impact on mail you send,
only on mail you receive. Such as mail that is received from a mailing list
that may come from many different senders, making the safe senders list
usless, but is always sent to an address like (e-mail address removed).

Hope that helps.

OHHH - OK - Thanks! That makes sense (but I had to re-read it a couple of
times before the paradigm sank-in) - Like saying, "Not junk if addressees
include," which would have made more sense (to this feeble old mind, at
least).

Thank you!
