White List

How It's Used

“Another approach to limiting spam, which is favored by big marketers, is to create a 'white list' of approved senders, but this raises the question of who will compile such a list. A group of the companies that send e-mail on behalf of major corporations will put forward another proposal tomorrow that would allow senders to certify their identities in every e-mail message they send and report a rating of how much they comply with good mailing standards. Users and Internet service providers would then decide what sort of mail they choose to accept.”

“Friends and listservs and other 'whitelisted' designees, of course, wouldn't have to pay me at all.”

“On the other hand, some of the most groundbreaking new Tiger features are barely mentioned in Apple's marketing. For example, the new parental controls let you, the wise authority figure, specify which e-mail correspondents, chat buddies, Web sites and even programs are O.K. for your children. Older children may find the 'whitelist' approach overly limiting, but the design is otherwise clean, effective and beautifully integrated.”
