Friends List

Your friends list is an important part of TNL Antispam. The friends list and banned list work exactly the same, although they serve two completely different purposes.

All incoming emails are checked to see if the sender is on your friends list. If the sender appears on your friends list, the message is left in your POP box and left alone. Your friends list is a simple text file which can contains one friend per line. The friend can be a full email address or a partial email address.

A typical friends list may look something like:

The above example demonstrates some of the possibilities with the friends list.

Full Email Address Matches:
bob1283@hotmail.com is a full email address. TNL Antispam will look for matches of this entire address.

Partial Email Address Matches:
The second email address on the example list above is dianas. TNL Antispam will look for any email address that contains dianas.
So for example messages from dianas@hotmail.com, bob@dianas.com or dianasimpson@yahoo.com would all produce matches.

Domain Matches:
If you wanted to accept mail from anyone at a particular domain, a client for example you could wildcard a whole domain name. The final item on the example list is an example of how to do this, @tnlsoft.com.
