Rebuild the whitelist to a temp file first, and when that's finished,
overwrite the original with the temp file. On a POSIX OS, rename()
operations are guaranteed to be atomic.

If you are using wildcards, probably, yes. If there is any way you can
use a flat file w/out wildcards (just individual addresses) combined
with the -autocdb option you'll be much better off. Even a .cdb with
100,000 addresses shouldn't cause TMDA to break a sweat.

Another way would be what I mentioned before, which is to figure out a
way in the MTA to circumvent TMDA if the message was generated by a
trusted domain.
