*Sender-based filtering
*Recipient-based filtering

Users can define a custom white list or blacklist. The white list module always treats mail coming from an address or connection in your white list as legitimate mail. As a result, such mail is delivered immediately to the inbox, bypassing any other filtering. On the contrary, blacklist treats mail coming from an address as spam and puts them into quarantine folder.
