How to properly whitelist.

[Remco Barendse]

Forgot one thing, now that I'm all excited about wildcards:

There is a very nice set of reports and messages in various languages
included in MailScanner.
Could we make a rules list that would return a report in the senders
language based on the domain they are sending it from (or possibly even
the encoding of the message)?

It wouldn't work 100% because you cannot set a default language for a .com
or .net other than English but with a .se it would be nice to include
something in Swedish. Maybe even include an English report as well
together with the foreign language report for completeness?

Would be kinda neato :)
