How to whitelist an email address

If you are having issues receiving mail from a certain email address, you may find that those emails and/or email address have been identified by SpamAssassin as spam, resulting in the emails being filtered and not reaching your inbox.

To resolve this you are able to whitelist an email address and/or domain to ensure their mail is received successfully.

1. Firstly, login to your cPanel account. If you have forgotten your cPanel credentials, they were included in the original Welcome to Serversaurus email which you should be able to find in your inbox otherwise follow these instructions on how to update your cPanel password.

2. Navigate to the SpamAssassin function using the Find bar to help you.
