You're very welcome, but please keep in mind that those usages are my own and
other people may use the same terms for other things, or other terms for the
same things, and people may even use the same two in exact transposition of
the way I do.

That sounds like (what I call) greenlisting, no "ish" needed. Certain
senders are trusted that mail from them is desirable, and mail from other
senders is examined further.
