Multiple Whitelists

[Dan Williamson]

In my case I have done this,

FromandTo:      /etc/MailScanner/rules/filter.spam.check  no

Where filter.spam.check contains, line by line.
/(whoever at somedomain.com|someone at domain.tld)/

Would this be better done with your example.
I don't think my FromandTo: statement would work in the rules file with your
example.

So would you just put in the rules file,
/etc/MailScanner/rules/filter.spam.check
then in the filter.spam.check file,
From: whoever at somedomain.com and To: someone at domain.tld yes

thanks,
-dan

It has to look like a normal rule, so would look like perhaps
From: whoever at somedomain.com and To: someone at domain.tld yes
