Global Whitelist Location

Can somebody tell me where the Global Whitelist is located within Pegasus Mail, please?


I am aware I can see it by going to Tools/ Spam and content controls/Global whitelist, but I would like to be able to create a shortcut for it on my desk top, like I have done for the Black list at C:\PMAIL\MAIL\ADMIN\black.pml.


Thanks for any help,


Chris

Believe that is WHITE.PML
I also have a file WHITE-M.PM, but not sure what that is?

On my system only this one is populated, any other ones are blank.

I'm now confused after looking into this a little more.


Found this page??
https://www.vandenbogaerde.net/pegasusmail/pf_gwl_index.html


Talks about the white-m.pm file.


I also looked at my WHITE* files.

2014 Dec 8 2020 WHITE.PML


The WHITE.PML hasn't been updated for 4+ year, but WHITE-M.PM has been updated today. Check a test setup, that I use just to look at, and it has neither WHITE file or the BLACK.PML.


So, maybe at some point there were changes in the WHITE.PML, BLACK.PML, and now WHITE-M.PM?


So, perhaps someone can find out more. The link only seems to talk about the WHITE-M.PM file??

It's WHITE.PM. WHITE.PML is the whitelist for content control. BLACK.PML is its counterpart. Neither of my installations have a WHITE-M.PM file so I'm clueless about it.

I have no installation with WHITE.PM?? All have WHITE-M.PM?
Older ones the BLACK and WHITE.PML,
My Working Directory goes back many years.

Have another test install setup in 2024, and it has none of the files.
No Black.pml or White.pml or white-M.pm?? But it was just an install with just default admin mail directory. Never did setup procress or opened any test emails other than a test amazon message that would cause crash if IERenderer was used to open.


So, not clear what causes the creation or updating of the Black.pml, white.pml and white-M.pm file (or why someone else would get a White.pm file instead of white-M.pm. Is that usiing PB3 or one of the later setups?

I suspect that "black" and "white" are created by content control when you first use a testing set since you can assign them different names within the configuration of the set.


Does white-m.pm contain a list of email addresses?
If you add an email address to the global whitelist does it get added to white-m.pm?
Was Mercury ever involved? (re: the option in to make the whitelist visible for Mercury..."M" for Mercury?)

The way I see it, both are blacklists and whitelists. Those with a "-M" are for Mercury use. I was looking after more information at Han's website and found this page: https://www.vandenbogaerde.net/pegasusmail/pf_gwl_index.html


I don't have the white-m, nor the black-m files here as I never used Mercury. Also, white.pml and black.pml are used by Pmail Content Control, another feature I've never used. Anyway, I believe a simple "look at" the function may create these files.


For those willing to check Han's pages I started here: https://www.vandenbogaerde.net/han_lkfr.htm

I think I might have just confirmed that after finding WHITE-M.PML files in backups of mailboxes from my work days. They would have had their global whitelist configured to be visible for Mercury. I don't remember doing it manually so I suspect it happened automagically as part of adding a new user to Pegasus Mail/Mercury.
