E-mail / Spam Issues

Q3. How do I allow or deny e-mail coming from a certain address?

To allow e-mails from a certain address, do the following:

1. Open the F-Secure Internet Security 2008 main user interface:
   • Click Start > All Programs > F-Secure Internet Security 2008 > Open the F-Secure Internet Security 2008, or
   • Double-click the F-Secure icon in your Windows system tray on the bottom right corner of your screen.


2. Select the Spam Control tab and click Advanced to open the advanced settings.


3. Click Allowed Senders on the left menu to add senders from whom you allow e-mail messages.


4. Click the Add button to add a new e-mail address to the list.


5. Enter the address to the address line. If you want to create a short description for the new address, you can enter it in the description field. Click OK to enter the new address to the list.
   
   

   Note: If you want to allow mails from certain domains add ‘*’ as the wildcard indicating any address in a certain domain, then add the rest of the address after the @ sign.
   
   Example: * @f-secure.com on the allow list would allow all mails coming from the F-Secure domain.

If you want to edit a previously created entry, select an address from the list and click the Edit button to edit it. Click Remove to remove the selected address.

Tip: You can also add a new address to the list through the Microsoft Outlook Spam Control menu button or by right-clicking the system tray icon.
