I have achieved this with a slightly hacked TMDA (www.tmda.net). if you
want my modifications, contact me off-list.

I'm surprised you actually mentioned a solution whose core feature is
challenge/response.  C/R is one of those "cures" that far is worse
than the disease.

I got rid of the C/R ... I wanted auto whitelisting & some of the other
features. hence my modifications.

How do I setup an "auto-whitelist"?

TMDA has the ability to automagically add confirmed addresses to a whitelist. This way, each new sender only has to go through the confirmation process once.
...
Then TMDA will the add the senders from successfully confirmed messages to the 'whitelist_confirmed' file. A possible variation on this includes setting CONFIRM_APPEND to your main whitelist file rather than a secondary file.


This strongly suggests the auto-whitelist feature will not function in the absence of the C/R feature. Put another way, the auto-whitelist function is dependent upon the C/R function. Senders must reply to the challenge email in
order to be added to the whitelist.  Am I reading this wrong?

yes. you can set tge whitelisting features in either the global .config file or the individual users' .config. it's in the documentation.

you may also choose which messages are challenged, tagged, etc.

I'd give you the direct link to the doc, but I'm mobile, ATM - I will forward it later.
