Instead, an admin can list some _dont_whitelist_emails_from, or something of the sort. Would that be workable? In this case, anything sent from [EMAIL PROTECTED] would not add the recipients to a whitelist.
Of course, if I sent an email from the employment box, I should accept responses. Otherwise, we're basically building a spambot, on some level. So, employment sending an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] should mean that employment will accept mails from John. But, mails to sallie will go through the standard filters, even it is from John. So, I guess my point is, it could be reasonably done (I think) by listing exceptions, but I don't see the real value in doing so. Either way, I'll be very happy to see this done, as it means I may actually be able to implement some of these methods of SPAM avoidance... One question, though: If I send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and she gets hit by a worm, does that mean that her emails to me will not be checked for a virus? And if I ever send a message to myself to test something, then all SPAM that sends itself as if I had sent it to myself would get through??? I think I'd like a filter that could check to see if an email is claiming to be sent by a local (or hosted) domain but coming from some foreign server. I know I could do it in the BOFH "freemail" area by listing all of my own domains, but is there a way to not reject, but still push through the other filters? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
