# Whitelist a Domain in Spam Experts

In this article:

- [Learn to Whitelist a Domain](#whitelist-domain)

You may occasionally want to make sure that emails from a domain are never blocked by Spam Experts. The process of making this exemption is called **whitelisting**. You should only make exemptions when it’s necessary. Making too many exemptions will make Spam Experts ineffective at filtering spam from your email. Use this tutorial to learn how to **whitelist a domain in Spam Expert**s.

## How to Whitelist a Domain With Spam Experts

*Follow the steps below to whitelist your domain. Click on the slideshow that follows to see the screenshots related to each step.*

1. [Log into Spam Experts.](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/email/log-in/)
2. Click on **Whitelist Filtering Rules** under **Incoming – Protection Settings**.
3. Select **+ Add Rule** at the top of the page.
4. Name the rule that you are creating. For example, you may want to name it after the domain you’re whitelisting: *Example.com whitelist rule*.
5. Since the rule you’re creating is based on the **FROM** field, click on the drop-down arrow under **Match** and then select “**From**“.
6. In the next field click on the conditional that you want to use. Since any email from a particular domain would be something like “*someone@domain.com*“, you will want to use “**contains**“. This will allow you to include any email from that domain.
7. Type in the domain name you’re trying to whitelist in the next field.
8. Click on **Save**.

*Click on the arrow or dot to move through the screenshots in the slideshow below. The numbers correspond to the directions above.*
