Chances are, you won't know the sender's address, so the only practical way to use sender addressing instead of keyword addressing would be to subscribe, unsubscribe, and then re-subscribe. What a pain! It would make more sense just to subscribe with your regular address and then whitelist the sender. Plus, what about mailing list managers that use the original sender as the envelope sender? I don't know if any do this, but I have to assume there is one out there. Your only chance to handle that would be a keyword address (or a qmail extension, which accomplishes essentially the same thing). > I've been thinking about adding a new type of address, domain > addresses, that match on just the domain of the sender address.

I guess to accomplish this, you'd create addresses like: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The two after the domain extension would indicate that the last two parts of the sender's domain name (example.com) should be tested against the encrypted code 092a48. Values of zero or one should not be allowed. For filter rules, you'd want something like: to [EMAIL PROTECTED] domain=2 to accomplish the above. > Does this sound interesting to anyone besides me?

More handy than sender addresses, which I have yet to be able to apply to a single situation.
