The first thing you could do is just remove aol.com from your blacklist, but if you are concerned about it accidentally getting back into your blacklist you could add a rule in your incoming filter prior to your blacklist rule like the following:
from aol.com confirm Of course if you have any contacts with aol.com addresses that you don't want to have to confirm all the time you will need to ensure that they are allowed through with a rule that precedes the aol.com rule like this: from-file -autodbm -optional ~/.tmda/lists/aol-users ok >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Quirin Hofstaetter >Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2003 9:11 AM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: DBM blacklist and domain search -> Problem > > >On Wed, 12 Nov 2003, Tim Legant wrote: > >> How is tmda-cgi supposed to know what addresses you want blacklisted >> and what addresses you don't?
