For us the responsibility for approving (whitelisting) belongs with the CISO. He approves which domains should not get 
the banner

________________________________
If the group will indulge me, I’d like to ask a follow-up question.  Of those who do use a banner or subject line, who 
decides who has the authority to say what messages should be whitelisted (if any).  We have the usual suspects using 
external email services – SaaS and the like. Some are easy decisions (messages from our LMS for example don’t get 
tagged) while others are a controversial mix of political and technical issues.

Do you have an authority who can say yes/no to a whitelisting request, and if so who?

Thanks
Phil

P.S. I realize it is tacky to ask a followup question without responding to the initial question, so you can see an 
example of both our subject line modificaton and our banner in the attached message.
