Adding email addresses to the whitelist
Introduction
With the latest version of our spam fighting software you can easily request an address be added to the whitelist. All email from addresses on this list will be delivered without having to pass the spam test. Addresses you add to this list effect everyone in the department, so please be considerate when added addresses to the whitelist.
Important Note
In order to use this method you need your outgoing email server to be set to the authenticated server at smtp.cs.vt.edu so the system knows who you are. See CSThunderbird to find out how to set up authenticated outgoing email. Alternately, you can use the webmail system at https://webmail.cs.vt.edu to do these updates.
