mailscanner and perdomain white and blacklists

Thu Feb 2 18:04:56 GMT 2006

Sorry for the apparent lack of clarity.

As I said, I'm using Mailwatch's SQLBlackWhiteList.pm, so my MailScanner.Conf 
"Is Definitely Not Spam = &SQLWhitelist" and "Is Definitely Spam = 
&SQLBlacklist".  Without cauisng MS to barf , can I do something like:

Is Definitely Not Spam = &SQLWhitelist %rules-dir/spam.whitelist.rules

or

Is Definitely Not Spam = &SQLWhitelist
Is Definitely Not Spam = %rules-dir/spam.whitelist.rules

If not, how do I continue to use SQLBlackWhiteList.pm and "supplement" it with 
another whitelist?
