How do I approve (whitelist) and block (blacklist) emails in Microsoft spam filter?
The spam filter at Microsoft protects your inbox from spam and malware.
Emails captured by the Microsoft spam filter will appear in the Spam folder in your inbox and will be deleted automatically after 10-30 days. Remember to visit the Spam folder once in a while.
You may find that a "good" email appear in the Spam folder or that a spam email gets through the spam filter to your inbox. In these cases you can approve and block the senders yourself.

Ret indstillinger for din Microsoft spamfilter
Hvis du ønsker at rette i indstillingerne for dit spamfiler, eksempelvis hvor høj beskyttelsesnieauet skal være, skal du gøre følgende:
Klik på fanen Home (1).
Select Spam (2) og derefter Indstillinger for uønske mail…(3).
Under fanen Settings kan du sætte kriterier for, hvor grundigt din spamfilter skal sorterer dine mails.
Det kan være en god idé at vælge “Lav:” for at undgå at for mange ikke-spam mails bliver leveret til mappen Uønsket e-mail.
Under fanen Afsendere af uønsket mail kan du tilføje afsendere du helt ønsker at blokere.
Click on Add (4) og indtast den mailadresse du ønsker at blokere.
Ønsker du at blokere alle mails fra et helt domæne, skal du indtaste domæne, dvs. alt det der kommer efter @ i en mailadresse.
