A question re "Ignore Spam Whitelist If ..." - SORTED & THANKS!

[Quentin Campbell]

Blimey! What an impressively helpful and immedite response. Thanks for
all the  suggestions.

Raylund Lai, Drew Marshall and Julian, among others, suggested moving my
block of local IP addresses for which no spam scanning was to take place
from the spam.whitelist.rules file to a new rules file to be used with
the "Spam Checks =" option. I have done this.

Raylund provided the most detailed answer for which my thanks.
