Catch 22 Whitelist & BlackList

[Stephe Campbell]

Clarification then, please:

A match for a "yes" and a match for a "no" are both matches, and will then
terminate the scan through the table of whitelists and proceed to the
blacklist to scan for matches (which you have indicated will override the
whitelist match)?

I have to say to all: I never imagined the many ways to use MailScanner when
I first started using it. The flexibility of this application is amazing
once you learn the ins and outs.

Thank you very much
Steve Campbell
