Retire Village – Whitelist A Domain In Earthlink

Whitelisting all of the email addresses in an entire domain should be approached with caution, because it allows email from anyone@thatdomain.com to be sent unfiltered into your inbox. If you are working with many individuals in an organization that handles all email through a single domain name, you may consider whitelisting that domain – but first consider how many addresses may exist under that domain. You would never want to whitelist a domain name that has national name recognition such as AMEX, HP, General Electric, Sony, Prudential, or Citi as they have thousands of potential addresses and also their high name recognition gives them a higher possibility of being spoofed by spammers. You would also never want to whitelist domains of email providers like msn.com, gmail.com, yahoo.com, or earthlink.com, for example.

It is recommended that you clear your browser cache before starting

then go to: http://webmail.earthlink.net

If you are taken to a window that shows multiple email account profiles, go to the top right corner of the window and click on the envelope. You will most likely be taken to the inbox of your primary Earthlink email account.

At the top of that window you will find “Address Book” in the bar that has “Web Mail” at the left.

Click on Address Book

And arrive at this window:

From the Address Book Page:

Click on the “Manage Domains” radio button.

Click on the “Add” radio button.

Type in a domain that you want to allow, such as RetireVillage.com,
then click the “Allow This Company (Domain) radio button.

You will be returned to:

There will be a momentary flash of “Your Whitelist has been updated.”

You can then navigate back to Earthlink email or can go to the upper right and click to sign out.
