Try and restart MailScanner and tail -f the maillog. You can look for
the startup loading of the black and whitelists to see if the whitelist
is loading. If blacklists are working, I would think that either there
is a typo in MailScanner.conf, or invalid whitelist entries.
For instance, you can not wildcard a domain with "@somedomain.com"
because the ampersand seems to be invalid if not in a single address.
"user at somedomain.com" is valid, but for an entire domain you need
"somedomain.com".
Also look for another "Is Definitely Not Spam =" entry that is not
commented out.
