Trusted senders
Add email addresses or domains you trust to prevent PhishNet from ever flagging them. For example, adding partner.com means no email from that domain will ever be marked suspicious, regardless of content.
You can add up to 200 trusted senders. Your organisation may also maintain its own trusted-senders list — see Policies & Preferences.
