Safe Recipients

[Guest]

I don't understand the concept of "Safe Recipients" in the Junk E-mail
settings. The explanation says, "E-mail sent to addresses or domains on your
Safe Recipients List will never be treated as junk e-mail".

I understand "Safe Senders" because that is incoming mail I want to receive
in my Inbox. But what does it mean if someone is on my Safe Recipients list?

Thanks in advance,
- Jeff

It basically means that if the email address is in the To line of the
received message, it won't be treated as junk email. Best example of when
to use would be where I have joined a mailing lists on yahoo groups. Since
I don't want emails sent to the mailing list treated as junk mail, I would
list the yahoo group email address in safe recipients list.
