This procedure describes how to filter incoming messages to your mailbox account by predefining lists of allowed senders or blocked senders. Alternatively, you can accept all incoming messages, regardless of the senders.

3    To add members to the Invited or Uninvited Members lists, do the following:

i     From the first dropdown list, select the relevant type:

   Email (): Email address. For example, example@example.com

   Domain (): A domain suffix. For example, example.com. Specifying a domain suffix accepts or rejects messages from all senders whose addresses correspond to the suffix.

   Phone (): Telephone number of the person

ii    Type the email address, domain, or number corresponding to the source type you selected.

When typing telephone numbers, make sure that you type the entire number without spaces or punctuation between the digits. For example, to type the number (xxx) xxx-xxxx, you would type xxxxxxxxxx.

iii   Click Add.

The sender is added to the list. The icon in the Type column indicates the source type.

4    To remove a sender or senders from the list, do one of the following:

   To remove one or more senders, select the checkbox(es) to the left of the sender’s address, and then click Remove.

   To remove all senders from the list, select the checkbox in the column heading, and then click Remove.

5    To confirm all settings, click Save.
