 AOL - Creating Whitelists
AOL is creating a "whitelist" of e-mail marketing companies that agree to abide by its policies, and it will allow them to send graphic-laden emails directly to AOL subscribers.
Protecting Exchange Against Spam
One way of automatically creating a whitelist is examining all outgoing mail. Recipients of mail sent from internal users are considered "safe" senders. This can be problematic if an internal machine starts sending e-mails because of a virus. Use this option only if you have anti-viruses deployed internally (as you should) and latest service packs are installed on the Outlook clients.
