mailscanner and perdomain white and blacklists

Hi Julian,
    Sorry about the long delay in getting back to you. I checked out 
CustomConfig.pm and if i'm reading it right what i have to do is set the "Is 
Definitely Spam" and "Is Definitely Spam" to point to a directory for white 
and blacklists. So say i want a whitelist for example1.com i would make a 
/etc/MailScanner/domains directory for all my domains and point ms to it. 
Then make a directory for example1.com and then a file spam.whitelists.conf 
adding in what i want. Put the blacklist in the same area. Before i let you 
know of my problem do i have this right so far? Checking the MS config on 
this box here's what is already in there for those values:

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

and those files exist with content. If i'm reading this right these 
whitelists and blacklists are applied globally and not per-user and 
per-domain?
Thanks.
Dave.
