Have just checked but still the spam black whistelists aren't properly
lowered?

I still need to make duplicate entries for some domains because different
servers on the other side display the sender domain in different casing.

I still have to make two entries to whitelist for example:

From:           @domain.com                     yes
From:           @DOMAIN.com                     yes

Thought that the domain part for the black/whitelist would be made case
insensitive?
