mailfloss has a good set of defaults in terms of what it cleans and does not clean. However, if you are looking for more find-grained controls then you can go ahead and add your blacklist and whitelist options [here](https://app.mailfloss.com/integrations?utm_source=drip\&utm_medium=email\&utm_campaign=add-your-blacklist-whitelist-options).

Select your integration, click "Show more options", and click on the link "whitelist/blacklist".

From there, if you want to whitelist an email address as an example, uncheck Local Part and check Email. Or if you want to whitelist an entire domain, uncheck Local Part and check Domain. Then enter the email address or domain into the input and press enter.

Each new entry added to the whitelist can have different settings. You can check these settings by **hovering** **over** the entry. If you need to change the values of any entry, you can hover over it and remove it by clicking the **"X"** that appears next to the name. Then, you can add it again with the desired options selected.

**Blacklist:**
 The blacklist is used to block specific keywords, domains, or patterns in email addresses that you *don’t want to verify*. Contacts on the blacklist will **always fail verification** and, depending on your settings, may be **automatically unsubscribed or deleted**. This is typically used for things like swear words, disposable domains, or problematic addresses.

**Whitelist:**
 The whitelist allows you to **bypass filtering** for specific keywords, domains, or email patterns you *want to keep*, even if they might normally fail verification. Whitelisted contacts will still be verified, but they **won’t be unsubscribed or deleted**, regardless of their result. This is useful for role-based emails (e.g., info@, admin@) or trusted addresses you always want to retain.

**Note: **Blacklisted and whitelisted contacts **still consume credits **when verified. These settings only affect how the contacts are handled *after *verification, not whether they are processed.
