Any whitelist I supply is just a normal ruleset, which is applied to 
some configuration option or other. Look for the filename of the 
"whitelist" file in your MailScanner.conf and you'll see where it is 
applied.

You can add rulesets to virtually any configuration option, so you can 
create as many whitelists as you want.
