Importing White/Black Lists to the ADB

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.
