MCP whitelist

[Julian Field]

    [ The following text is in the "ISO-8859-1" character set. ]
    [ Your display is set for the "US-ASCII" character set.  ]
    [ Some characters may be displayed incorrectly. ]

In MailScanner.conf, set "MCP Checks = %rules-dir%/mcp.checks.rules".

Then in that file (which will  probably be in
/etc/MailScanner/rules/mcp.checks.rules unless you have changed the
definition at the top of MailScanner.conf), you need to put lines like this:

From: noc at xxxxx.com no
From: wsjohnson at xxxxx.net no
From: brandy at xxxx.com no
To: abuse@* no
To: postmaster@* no
To: *@dont.mcp.me.com no
FromOrTo: default yes

For each line, if the address pattern and message direction match the
message being checked, then the last entry on the line says what the
value of "MCP Checks" will be. There is a default rule to say "yes, do
MCP check everyone else".
