The ADB allows the importing of White and/or Black Lists.
Black Lists: A black list is a list of known bad (spammer) addresses. These addresses are imported with a Blocked control. It is generally NOT recommended to import Black Lists, as the Passcode Authentication algorithm will quarantine unknown senders until they pass the authentication process.
White Lists: A white list is a list of trusted email addresses. These addresses are imported with an Allowed control. Importing white lists provides a means to allow email messages from no-respond addresses. A no-respond address is an address, which sends you email but does not receive email, like a receipt for something you bought on the internet.
As use of the Receipt Passcode technology, described in Section 4.1, becomes widely adopted, the need for white-listing no-respond addresses will diminish. In the meantime, importing white lists provides a practical way of adding ecommerce sites to your ADB.

The White lists maintained by comodo are generally no-respond addresses of good email senders that do not yet conform to the Comodo AntiSpam Desktop 2005 MIME Authentication specification. |
