 =====Local Addresses=====
-If you put an address on the whitelist which is also in a 'local domain', then, by default VPOP3 will ignore that. This is because spammers often send spam pretending to be from the same domain as the recipient.
+If you put an address on the whitelist which is also in a 'local domain', then, by default VPOP3 will ignore that when checking //incoming// mail. This is because spammers often send spam pretending to be from the same domain as the recipient. In most cases, mail from local domains will be sent locally, not incoming, so, usually, this is a sensible rule to follow.
-If you want to tell VPOP3 to check the whitelist for local domain email addresses as well, then go to **Settings -> Spamfilter -> General**, go to the **Script Configuration** tab, and set **CheckLocalWhitelist** to **1**.
