What does X-NAS-BWL mean in the message source details of an email?
It's followed by 'no match found for...' or 'match found' and the number of addresses and domains.

    X-NAS = Norton Anti-Spam. you apparently have norton antispam installed on your PC. X- headers are any meta tags appended to the header by various apps along the road.

    X-NAS-BWL: Found match for _______ on the allowed list (9 addresses, 0 domains)

    Thanks. This is an example of one that was 'found'. What would this mean? Norton found a match to that email address? I don't have an 'allowed list' nor have I blocked any mail. Just curious what a match actually is and how sender's addresses are designated differently - a good or bad thing if Norton finds them? haha

    I would check norton's support forums, or product help for the answer to that. Maybe they have an internal whitelist (like mail from support@symantec.com or something like that).

    I assume the BWL stands for Black/White list.
