Help with rules

[Matthew Bowman]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong on this.

Barry - you have the concept right, however I think the order should be

To: user1 at mydomain no
To: user2 at mydomain no
To: *@mydomain yes

Hi,

I want users to be able to "opt in" to virus and spam filtering so need to
set the rules files to allow this. I was wondering how the rules files are
processed, that is, does each successive line override any previous line.

For example, in spam.whitelist.rules:

To:    *@mydomain    yes
To:    user1 at mydomain    no
To:    user2 at mydomain    no

Will this prevent filtering for all domain users except for user1 and
user2?

Regards
