Thanks.  But a catchall is exactly what I don't want. What I want is a
bounce  so  the  sender  knows  his  mail  was not accepted...
Actually, I believe the CATCHALLMAILS test will do what you want. However, in this case, you would use "CATCHALLMAILS BOUNCE" instead of "CATCHALLMAILS HOLD".

With "CATCHALLMAILS BOUNCE", all E-mails will be bounced -- except if you whitelist the sender.

Usually there is a process to inform the
destination  user  if  he  wants  to  add  the  sender  to  his or her
whitelist.
That's an interesting idea. I'll have to see if it is possible to combine the ALERT action (which would behave in this case just about the same as the BOUNCE action) with the ATTACH action, which would allow you to send a bounce message and have an E-mail go to the recipient explaining that an E-mail from %MAILFROM% was blocked.

The lead ZDNet editor David Berlind and I
have  a  dialog  going and he is really down on blacklists and more or
less  endorsing  the  whitelist concept. So I am shooting for a way to
manage this in Declude. I was thinking I could put high weights on all
other  emails  with a bounce by default but give a white list negative
counter-weights to let those through. Not sure his would work?
I'm guessing the "CATCHALLMAILS BOUNCE" combined with a whitelist would work best. However, you could likely accomplish the same thing with the weighting system.
