version 3.20
New: Rules Settings. This option allows you to set rules for some email / domain addresses. There are 3 actions available for every email/domain address: 1. Do not send e-mail - this rule allows you to forbid the sending of an email to the address containing any keywords like *.gov, *.mil, etc. 2. Do not load into EasyMail - this rule allows you to forbid loading of the email addresses containing any keywords like *.gov, *.mil, etc. 3. Do not load and do not send - this rule allows you to forbid both the loading and the sending of the email addresses containing any keywords like *.gov, *@zwallet.com, webmaster@*, etc.

Now you can simply blacklist a whole domain instead of adding the email addresses from this domain one by one to the Exclusion List. For example, add the rule: *.gov - Do not load and do not send and select the groups which this rule will be applied to. So, you will forbid importing of emails as well as the sending messages to all the email addresses from the .gov domain.

If you have any suggestions about new actions/rules just write us. We will add them to the next version of the program.
