User Spam Settings

Posted by Nishi on 1 April 2025

Spam is an inconvenience at its best. Zoho Mail's anti-spam mechanism works extensively to identify and classify the right emails as spam. However, if you find any genuine emails landing in your spam folder or any spam email in your inbox, you can customize the Anti-Spam Lists in your Zoho Mail settings to avoid the same. 

Allowlist/Blocklist

An email address or a domain can be added to the Allowlist or Blocklist if you want to scrutinize who sends you emails.

  • Allowlist - When you add email addresses or domains to Allowlist, emails from such addresses and domains will be one step closer to getting delivered in your inbox.Allowlist does not 100% guarantee Inbox delivery.In cases of spam check failures, emails from addresses present in the Allowlist might be marked as spam and can be delivered to the Spam folder.
  • Allowlist does not 100% guarantee Inbox delivery.
  • In cases of spam check failures, emails from addresses present in the Allowlist might be marked as spam and can be delivered to the Spam folder.
  • Blocklist - When you add email addresses or domains to Blocklist, the emails from such addresses will always get delivered in your Spam folder.
