Hi Kris,

As far as I understand MailScanner's whitelisting, if one recipient is
in the whitelist, all recipients receive the message.  I have run into
your situation also, and refuse to whitelist recipient names here, if I
see that they receive a high volume of spam.  I don't want other people
getting spam, just because they want their name whitelisted.

I am sure someone will correct me, if I have mis-stated how MailScanner
operates its whitelist.

Good luck with your CEO!

Dustin
