As Skip pointed out, whitelisting is easily within the capabilities of any mail client. It is *not*, however, something that is easy to implement - there are a lot of design issues. The FAQ has more details about this, if you are interested, including a link to comments from Mark (who did the Outlook plug-in) explaining the implementation difficulties. <http://spambayes.org/faq.html#why-don-t-you-add-whitelisting- blacklisting-to-spambayes> =Tony.Meyer -- Please always include the list (spambayes at python.org) in your replies (reply-all), and please don't send me personal mail about SpamBayes. http://www.massey.ac.nz/~tameyer/writing/reply_all.html explains this. _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html
