white list clarification, please

[Andy Norris]

Thanks very much, Ugo!

I've been leaning more toward the whitelist_from_rcvd in the spamassassin
rules that I've written and customized for most of my whitelisting now. I
like being able to verify against reverse DNS. I imagine there's not a way
to do that with MailScanner -- so it's a double-layer kind of thing... I'm
learning more, but more to go.

Thanks again,

Andy
