Did you read my complete article? Basically that's the way I do my
filtering (except for the '*@*' part, which seems a little strict for my
needs). The problem is as follows:
(1) I receive an email _from_ John Doe whose address matches a globally
blacklisted domain _to_ a valid keyword address -> mail gets through
(see my original article for the reason; I don't like to explain it
all again ;)
(2) I reply to this mail and tmda is setup to put a dated address into
the From: header. Fine.
(3) When John replies to that mail it is not sent to the keyword address
he used in (1) but to the dated address tmda generated in (2). This
dated address is not listed in any of the whitelist files, so John's
address goes down through the incoming filter until it is compared
to the addresses in the blacklist. Now here it matches the
"*@johnsdomain.com" entry and the mail is dropped.
