  4. Choose the standard account that you want to set Parental Controls for. (You cannot set parental controls on an administrator account.).
  5. Choose the Parental Controls tab.
  6. Click the Configure... button next to Mail.app.
The addresses that you add to the list are the only addresses that this user can send to and receive email from. You can also specify an email address that any mail from addresses not on the list will be sent to.
