Protected domains or senders from inadvertent blacklisting

Monday 9th of November 2009 3:36am

I need to be able to specify domains and senders (in separate lists) that would be protected from inadvertent blacklisting or automatic deletion. There have been many times where I have clicked on the wrong email and killed off the entire legitimate domain (i.e.: yahoo, msn, aol, hotmail, etc.) or a legitimate sender, and causing loss of legitimate emails for quite a while before discovering and correcting the error. The protected list would be a top level filter that would disallow simple right-click blacklisting or deletion on specified domains or senders. If I specified aol as a protected domain, I would not have the right-click option to kill it, but I might have the option to kill that sender email crap@aol.

Since spammers often send junk to me using forged sender names on my own domains, this would also protect me from inadvertently blacklisting my own domains!

If you put these addresses in a filter set to override the friends and black lists they will be protected from deletion.

Stan: if you include a desired sender or domain in the friends list, it does not prevent one from right-clicking on the wrong item and unknowingly sending that sender or domain to hell anyway.

That is correct, but if you do them as a filter that will prevent that from happening.

There is another suggestion around that asks for better notification if you try to switch something from one list to another which might also help.
