The difference between and icons
or
Why ChoiceMail One didn't send a registration request
If the is displayed with a sender, ChoiceMail is informing you that it did not send a registration request to that sender. If is displayed, then ChoiceMail is indicating that a registration request was in fact sent out. Other icons are explained here.

The differentiation is done mainly to avoid sending registration messages to legitimate services such as mailing lists. If you are receiving such messages but the sender address is always different, you might want to create a permission rule that recognizes these messages based on their content.

The red circle around an unknown sender means that the email sent to you was not "explicitly" sent to you. This means that either you were on that user's BCC list for that email or the sender used an email address that you own but that is not known to ChoiceMail (see email aliases for more info on this issue). In these cases we do not send the registration message out since there is a good chance this was a listserver you might have signed up with. To prevent sending a registration message to the whole listserver - we mark that message as a special case.

If you think that a registration request should have been sent out, please do the following:

1) Accept the message manually (View | Show Message Information, then right-click on the message and click "Allow selected message"). The message will then be available to your email application.

2) Open that message in your email application and verify the list of people to whom the email was sent.

3) If your own email address appears in the list, that means that you have an email alias of which ChoiceMail is not aware. In this case please open your email account settings, switch to the "My Aliases" tab and add that alias. From now on, ChoiceMail will recognise that address as a valid email address for you.


4) If you cannot find your email address inside the message - then the sender BCC'd the message to you and ChoiceMail will not respond to it.
