Glossary of Terms

Domain Name: The unique name that identifies an Internet site or the text name corresponding the "address" / URL of a particular Web site. This is also how you describe the name that is at the right of the @ sign in an Internet address.

Blacklists: After identifying the sending server's IP address and before any e-mail is transmitted, the receiving server can query any blacklists and block incoming mail from anyone on this list. This results in the intended recipient never receiving your e-mail.

Whitelists: The same premise as a blacklist, but instead of blocking the email it verifies that the server should accept it. If you are on this list recipients will continually receive what you are sending.

Spam Filter: A spam filter is a program that will actually capture e-mails that look like spam before they are sent to your in-box.

Spammer: someone who is blacklisted because their e-mail is considered spam
