But I'm a bit worried about what would happen if I got a message from a different address for one of these newsletters; for example, let's say I normally get messages from
info@email.com but once I got something from
news@email.com (I've encountered similar situations in the past). If I've set up
info@email.com as the exclusive sender, I won't get the message from
news@email.com. Is there a way to add trusted (rather than exclusive) senders for a particular account?
Thanks,

I've always felt like "exclusive" sender was actually a bit of a misnomer. It's exclusive only in the sense that it's trusted "exclusively" for that address. So it's another form of trusted sender, but one just for that address.
What this means is that as long as the address is not depleted (count down to zero) you will continue to get messages from anyone sending to that address. But your exclusive sender (whether a specific address or an entire domain) will not decrease the remaining count.
The difference between exclusive sender and trusted sender is that if
joe@email.com is an exclusive sender for your address
joeslist.20.myname@spamgourmet.com, then joe can write to you at your joeslist address without decreasing the count, but if he writes to you at another of your spamgourmet addresses, he WILL decrease the count. If
joe@email.com were a *trusted* sender instead, then he would not decrease the count regardless of which of your addresses he wrote to.
