This is a terrific explanation. Your corrections and explanations are
crystal clear.
The only thing that I don't quite follow is the last [b]bb example you
have. What do you mean by "This makes it possible to fine adjust recipient
and sender relational rules."
I'd definitely like a way to have rules for specific sender and recipient
pairs. Block aaa files for everyone unless the sender is
aaao...@outsidedomain.com AND the recipient is aaao...@ourdomain.org for
example. Are you suggesting that there's a way to do this?
I hope that no one else is in a position like I am where we need to
understand these granular exceptions. Oh how I wish I were back to simpler
times where we could apply the same rule to everyone... BUT having these
rules are excellent - especially since I now understand (most) of them. :)
Thank you
