I believe the sender blacklists require a minimum of 2 characters per line,
but you try something like this:
@a
@b
...
@z
@0
...
@9
Having all 26 characters and 10 digits should block all E-mail. The
WHITELIST entries would then override the blacklist.

And that is where it would be difficult with the current release. The
WHITELIST entries are global (and the blacklist entries are effectively
global, too), so it wouldn't be possible for individual users to have their
own whitelist entries.

We are looking into a "confirmation" action that would require the sender
of the E-mail to confirm that they sent the E-mail, which would also cut
down significantly on spam (probably 99% or so), while being slightly less
inconvenient. That won't definitely be added, but if enough people think
it would be useful, we may.
