Editing your Winlink “Whitelist”

Created by Ed, VE7ED

Whitelist - Email

For a Winlink user to receive a message, the sender's e-mail address must be listed in the recipient's whitelist (the accept list)

All Winlink accounts have this feature to purposely block mail from the internet that is not expected or permitted. This filter can be bypassed--and the mail will be delivered even if the sender is NOT on the recipient's whitelist--by including a special keyword in the subject line of the message

These are no longer meaningful or functional since the Whitelist option is no longer optional.
