Overview
Safe senders are domains and people you always want to receive email messages from. Safe recipients are recipients that you don't want to block, usually groups that you’re a member of. Messages received from any email address or domain in your Safe Senders and Recipients list are never sent to your Junk Email folder. However, they may be blocked before they reach your mailbox by junk email filtering settings on the server that hosts your mailbox.
If you have been granted access to a shared mailbox, you can use the steps below to add addresses to the Safe Senders list for the mailbox.
