It would be a blessing to have one's own "not scam" list built up. When one clicks "not a scam," the address info should be recorded. If one has subscriptions from corporations, for instance, each sending would not be called a scam.

More than a blessing...

I would rank this closer to a necessity than a blessing. It's very frustrating to have to say over and over again that a given newsletter email is not a scam.

A solution would be easy to implement:

  • Is sender in the PAB or the NSAB (not-a-scam AB), or any other listed AB, for that matter, except the CAB?
  • If so, it's not a scam.
  • If not, give the scam warning/prompt.
  • If user says it's not a scam, add address to NSAB.

    • Just the opposite

    I've never had a problem with having to tell T-Bird something isn't a scam - they always have been (and end up in my junk folder anyway) ... MY problem is the (to me) blatantly obvious scams it doesn't catch -- I'd like a way (context menu item under "mark as" perhaps) to say something IS a scam

    I have to agree with the original poster: I receive several very legitimate newsletters that, for some reason, trigger the scam message. There really needs to be a whitelist. Rholton 13:35, 6 December 2006 (PST)

    Whilelist of IP addresses

    Thunderbird marks every message with an IP address in a link as possible scam. In many cases this makes no sense, especially for the reserved private subnets like 10.0.0.0/8, 192.168.0.0/16 and 172.16.0.0/12 which no sane router would route to the internet anyway. I've seen this causing the majority of my false positives. Mocking 11:33, 18 January 2007 (PST)
