Set Address Book Exclusions

When you add an email address to the Address Book Exclusions list, Norton AntiSpam does not import the address into the Allowed List and Blocked List. If you delete an email address from the Allowed List or Blocked List, Norton AntiSpam automatically adds the address to the Address Book Exclusions list. However, when you delete an email address that you manually added to the Allowed List or Blocked List, Norton AntiSpam does not add the address to the Address Book Exclusions list.

You cannot add a domain name to the Address Book Exclusions list. When you delete a domain name from the Allowed List or Blocked List, Norton AntiSpam does not add the domain name to the Address Book Exclusions list.

You can specify Address Book Exclusions before you import the address book. Add all email addresses to the Address Book Exclusions list that you do not want to import from the address book of your email program.
