Initially, I was not thinking of a DNS-based whitelist, but more along 
the lines of a published trusted IP list that could copied into an 
access file.  This would mimic the whitelisting technique used in for 
the Greylisting pythonfilter.

I have found that there is a DNS whitelist published by Sender Score:
http://www.senderscorecertified.org/senderscorecertified/technical.php

Furthermore, I was reading the documentation on DNS ACCESS LIST in << 
couriertcpd(8) >>.  It seems that one can initialize environment 
variables using Access Lists.  Specifically, the docs state:

/var/[//n.n.n.n/] can be optionally followed by a comma and a text 
message, which will be used instead of the TXT record. The text message 
may include a single @ character somewhere in it, which will be replaced 
by the listed IP address.

With this in mind, if one were to specify

-block=allow.example.org,BOFHCHECKHELO/127.0.0.10,0

Wouldn't this result in a zero in the that variable, which should then 
be (theoretically) treated by couriertcpd in a similar manner as having 
that IP address listed in an access list with BOFHCHECKHELO=0 in front 
of it.

Look forward to feedback on both the viability of this method for 
whitelisting, and also about experience anyone has with Sender Score 
Certified.
