11.8 Warning addresses

Suppose you are writing a message which must be closed in your company. You might write an non-employee's address by mistake. If you tells your company's domains, for instance, to Mew, it turns non-employee's addresses to red.

There are four variables to decide which address should trun red. They are all a list of strings. Mew takes the following rules:

1. If an address is specified in ‘mew-safe-addresses’, no warning.
2. If the address is specified in ‘mew-warn-addresses’, warning.
3. If its domain is specified in ‘mew-safe-domains’, no warning.
4. If its domain is specified in ‘mew-warn-domains’, warning.
5. If either ‘mew-warn-addresses’ or ‘mew-safe-domains’ defined, warning.
6. No warning.

Here is an example that an address whose domain is not "@example.org" turns red.

(setq mew-safe-domains '("example.org"))

If you want "customers@example.org" to turn red even its domain is "@example.org", add the following line.

(setq mew-warn-addresses '("customers@example.org"))
