First of all -- I don't like the term whitelist in this context. What's being discussed is a small, almost marginal adjustment to the score. Using "whitelist" for anything that low (even -1 has been mentioned previously) is just watering down the definition. That said, something like the above might be useful in some cases. Not that I ever felt the need for it, but still. Also, there are custom plugins [1] out there, which provide similar or related functionality -- and even are *much* easier to maintain for *users*, than the user_prefs. See the Addressbook and LDAPfilter plugins. The latter even mentions support for per-domain listings. However, I strongly agree with a note in the Addressbook plugin's description. This doesn't really work for all addresses (unless rcvd or auth constrained, sic!). It is a common spammer pattern to send From forged address A, to Recipient A, B and C at the same domain. Thus, giving negative scores to your family, friends or co-workers is in some cases likely to result in FNs. Anyway, I hope everyone who really needs and uses whitelisting, also has the ShortCircuit plugin enabled. If you deliberately WHITE-list, why waste more cycles on the mail?
