Betreff: Re: [spamdyke-users] Configration Directories ... Need help    for     
understanding it.

I'm not sure where the text "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" came from -- the mailing 
list software shouldn't have made that substitution (it didn't for me, 
anyway).  Are you subscribed to the list on my server or are you getting 
these messages some other way?

Yes, the name of the configuration file matters -- it's how the whole 
thing works.

When attempting to make a match, spamdyke will search the configuration 
directory for a list of filenames.  In your example, you named 
"wonderfuldomain.com" for the recipient.  Obviously, incoming messages 
will have a username in front of the "at" symbol, so let's assume a 
username of "foo" (I'll avoid typing the email address or you'll just 
see "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" again).  spamdyke will search for FILES with the 
following paths:
    configdir/_recipient_/com/wonderfuldomain/_at_/foo
    configdir/_recipient_/com/wonderfuldomain
    configdir/_recipient_/com
If any of those files exist, spamdyke will open them and read them like 
a configuration file.  The first file will only be read for that 
specific recipient, since the filename includes the username.  If the 
first file does not exist but the second one does, it will be read for 
any recipient whose email address ends in "wonderfuldomain.com".  If the 
first and second files do not exist but the third one does, it will be 
read for any recipient whose email address ends in "com".

That's why using a crazy filename will not work.  If the full path is:
    
configdir/_recipient_/com/wonderfuldomain/_at_/ilikesmurfswithmarinarasauce.txt
spamdyke will only read that file if the recipient is 
"ilikesmurfswithmarinarasauce.txt AT wonderfuldomain.com" (again, I'm 
not typing a real email address so it isn't substituted).

In your example, you wanted to whitelist one sender for every recipient 
in a domain.  The best way to do that is to create a configuration 
directory based on the recipient:
    mkdir -p configdir/_recipient_/com
    echo sender-whitelist-entry=great AT aol.com > 
configdir/_recipient_/com/wonderfuldomain (NOTE: type the real email 
address, not "AT")
