The White List filter is as its name implies a method of allowing mail through from senders that you do not want to be rejected by any of the other filters. As such, if activated it should normally be the first filter that is run, i.e. it should be topmost in the list. It is automatically applied to senders if they exist in any of your address books other than the Quarantine address book or the Block List address book.
Filter Criteria
There is no explicit criteria to set for this filter.
Filter Action
Allows you to specify the action to take against messages that match the criteria you specify on the Filter Criteria tab.

Filter Actions
The White List filter can be configured by clicking on the "+" next to Filters in the left hand menu tree then selecting White List from the extended menu. The settings on the Filter Action Tab allow you to determine what action is taken when a message meets the Filter Criteria.
Filter Action
Each of the messages that match the filtering defined on the Filter Criteria tab may have an action carried out on them; only one action is possible per message. The available actions are:
Transfer directly to Inbox
Will take a copy of the message and place it straight into your Inbox. This has a similar effect to the filter not being activated at all. However in the case of the Bayesian filter you will be able to see the assessment of the message in the message summary bar. No other filters can then be actioned against the message.
Transfer to
Will take a copy of the message and place it in the folder selected from the drop down menu. The original message will be deleted from the Inbox.
Redirect to
Will take a copy of the message and redirect it on to another account. The original will be removed from the Inbox. Redirect is similar to Forward above but will retain the original sender of the message.
Copy to
Will take a copy of the message and place it in the folder selected from the drop down menu. The original message will remain in the Inbox.
Forward to
Will take a copy of the message and forward it on to another account. The original will be removed from the Inbox.
Reply with
Will send a reply to the sender of the message consisting of the string entered in the accompanying text box.
Tag message with
The message will automatically be associated with the selected tag, and highlight in the color of that tag.
Send SMS message
If your administrator has enabled the SMS gateway for your account you can set the filter to send an SMS message to the number you enter every time an email arrives that meets the filter criteria. The original message will end up in your inbox. If you don't have a mobile number set in your Local Addresses address book entry this option will be grayed out.
Send Pager message
If your administrator has enabled the Pager gateway for your account you can set the filter to send a Pager message to the number you enter every time an email arrives that meets the filter criteria. The original message will end up in your inbox. If you don't have a pager number set in your Local Addresses address book entry this option will be grayed out.
Send instant message
If instant messaging has been enabled on your system setting this option will cause an instant message to be sent to the instant messaging account you enter each time a message arrives that meets the filter criteria. The account will need to be logged in to instant messaging to receive the instant message. The original message will end up in your inbox.
Once you have completed all the details required for your filter, check the Active box and click on OK.
