Hi Darin, Thanks for the great explanation. You always offer good feedback. Thanks to everyone else who replied, too.
Which is the lesser of two evils -- Whitelist email to all recipients even though only one recipient is in the whitelist; or ignore the whitelist request entirely if the email has multiple recipients and only one of whom is in the whitelist? > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Darin Cox > Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2006 2:37 PM > To: declude.junkmail@declude.com > Subject: Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Whitelisting flaw in Declude? > > It's actually more of an issue of how the mail server handles the message. > In the case of multiple recipients, since there is only one message file > addressed to multiple recipients in the headers, it's either deliver or not > deliver unless you rewrite the headers to modify the recipient list.
