A mailing list is a collection of contacts that is used to send information, mostly in the form of discussion, to many recipients. The mailing list is defined by its topic of discussion (e.g., hobbies, celebrity gossip, sports enthusiasts). If you belong to an Internet mailing list, you can automatically send all messages to a specified folder through the Mailing List Manager. This feature allows you to set rules such as deciding whether to reply to the sender only or to the entire mailing list. The Mailing List Manager is also useful for making certain that particular email addresses will never be subjected to Entourage's junk mail filters.

Microsoft Entourage is an email client which operates within the larger framework of the Exchange server. Therefore, the server's junk filter settings will override any Mailing List Rules made in Entourage. To activate your Entourage Mailing List Rules, you must include each rule's email addresses and/or domains in the Safe Senders list of your Outlook Webmail account.
