Comment Re:Earthlink whitelists are user settings, not ser (Score 1) 291
This is something we have used on one account. It works fine most of the time. The FAQ for the whitelist = address book mentions that if you add a person from a certain domain (ex: juan@mycustomersURL.com) all email from mycustomersURL.com will be allowed through. This is where the flakeyness comes in; this works for awhile and seems to forget; even though the contact's info is still in the address book.
This whitelist system is a pain to support since it resides on the IMAP email system; maybe it is available if you use Earthlink's software, which we do not, I'm not sure.
I sent several messages to myself (30+ with attachments total ~500Kb) from my yahoo account and to my gmail account. The message arrived at yahoo & gmail immediately however I have yet to see them through my Earthlink account. I used the dhdhd+1@url.com, dhdhd+2@url.com method to recieve them all at the same account. I also totally shut off the spam filter for my account; we'll see how long it takes.
