The Whitelist is a list of email addresses from which all messages should be accepted - regardless of content. The blacklist is s list of email addresses from which all messages should be blocked.
For more information about email address lists, see:
To find out how to use the email address lists, see:
WHITELIST
When a message sent from an email address on the Whitelist is received, MailWasher Server immediately instructs your mail server to accept the message, without applying any of MailWasher Server's junk mail filters.
There are no extra configuration options for the Whitelist.

BLACKLIST
When a message sent from an email address on the blacklist is received, MailWasher Server quarantines the message, and sends a rejection notice to the sender.
The rejection notice email is customizable (see Rejection notices overview for more information), and you can configure whether these quarantined messages may be rescued)

Using wildcards
The address lists allow you to use simple wildcards to match, for example, an entire domain. See Using wildcards in email address lists for more information.

Adding mailing lists to
When checking the whitelist and blacklist, MailWasher Server uses
the Return-path or Sender fields of the message instead of the From address.
This is so you can add mailing lists, through which messages may be sent
by many different senders, to these address lists. For normal messages,
sent directly, the Return-path is almost always the same as the From address,
so they are handled as expected as well.
To find the return-path used to send a message, look
at the very top of the email headers. There should be a line starting
with "Return-path:", with the address in angle brackets.
