Outstanding feature/fix requests?

[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. ]

If you have a lot of address patterns that produce the same result, you
can rewrite the rule so that it contains a filename instead of the
address pattern. The rule will be replicated for each of the address
patterns in the named file.

So instead of putting this in a ruleset:
From: a at b.com yes
From: *@c.com yes
From: d@* yes
From: 127.0.0.1 yes
From: 152.78. yes
From: 10.1. no
From: default no

You can use this:
From: /etc/MailScanner.conf/spam.whitelist.addresses yes
From: 10.1. no
From: default no

And then in /etc/MailScanner.conf/spam.whitelist.addresses you put this:
a at b.com
*@c.com
d@*
127.0.0.1
152.78.

And files like the one above can contain the names of files containing
yet more addresses. You can nest them up to 4 layers deep (intentional
arbitrary limit to stop you making loops by mistake).
