Add BYPASSWHITELIST bypasswhitelist xx y 0 0 to your global.cfg file. If a message weight exceeds "xx" and the message was sent to "y" or more addresses the assigned action will take place. We use delete and have a line in our $default$.JunkMail file(s) that is BYPASSWHITELIST DELETE Basically, this command lets the administrator have the final word as to what should happen with a message. We use 40 and 2 for the values. If tom wants everything whitelisted but dick, harry and joe don't then tom causes the others to get spam (not good). The bypasswhitelist command, which isn't listed on the junkmail page, but is on the release page, let's the admin overrule tom, and depending upon the settings, causes none of them to get the message. Tom won't miss his spam message and the others will never get to see it.
