Top Dog automatically
builds and maintains whitelists.
Whitelists are lists of people
or subject lines of an email that indicate the email is pre-approved.
Top Dog automatically builds and maintains whitelists.
This is a powerful method of preventing any possibility of mistaking legitimate
email for spam.
You can always view and edit your whitelists within Top Dog.
Top Dog Security scans all
incoming email.
While email that is whitelisted will never be treated as spam, Top Dog
will still perform it's full suite of security checks on all email.
The reason for this is that the fact that someone is whitelisted does
not guarantee they are not infected with a virus.
How it Works
- Upon install, Top Dog scans
your "sent items" folder and extracts the email addresses
of the people you have sent mail to.
- While running Top Dog regularly
scans your address book and automatically whitelists the people in it.
- Every time you send an email
to someone Top Dog automatically whitelists their address.
- Every time you receive an
email from a whitelisted person Top Dog automatically whitelists the
other recipients.
- Every time you send an email
Top Dog automatically whitelists the subject line. This way if a different
person replies to your email the reply will still get through.
- Top Dog automatically whitelists
any email that is in reply to or refers to an email you have sent.
- Whenever you categorize
an email as personal the sender is automatically whitelisted.
- If you receive an email
via a mailing list that is whitelisted the sender of the email is automatically
whitelisted.
Blacklists
Blacklists are lists of people
or other features of an email that indicate the email is unwanted (i.e.
Always considered spam).
Top Dog also automatically maintains a blacklist of people who's email
you always want to reject.
Whenever you categorize an email as spam the sender is automatically added
to your blacklist.
After that, anytime that sender tries to send you an email it is automatically
flagged as spam.
When you blacklist or whitelist
a sender that previously belonged to a different list Top Dog automatically
removes the entry from the previous list.
For example, if you had accidentally whitelisted a sender and you then
categorize an email from them as spam.
Top Dog will remove the sender from your whitelist and add it to your
blacklist.
