Actually what I wanted to know more was more about the syntax.
For instance I know WHITELIST    IP  n.n.n.n - but is there a way to specify
a range of ip's or use a wild card in the IP address?

I think you also said WHITELIST  FROM and I think the address could be
written as a spcific address or just the @domain or are there other rules?

Was there a WHITELIST  ANY   (string)  and if so what is the regex
implications for the string?

Are there other WHITELIST options?

I was wondering about the BLACKLIST idea when I was looking at some obvious
spam that came through unblocked and wondering if I wanted to set up an
IMAIL rule to block it or not worry about it.  I do think some sort of way
to have some control over spam rules would be good but probably shouldn't be
done in the gloabl.cfg file in any event.  But then again this is
functionality available through IMAIL.  I doubt I'd pay for the feature and
there would be considerable time on the programming side for you.
