It probably would... Should the hashes be able to be REs too?

But then... I'd consider a ruleset that needs to be more than 1000
lines to be somehow broken.
IIRC the OP was using domains/email addresses to whitelist in MS,
which is plainly not that smart. That OP said something about the risk
of spoofing being negligible. Sigh.
Well, I used to do that too. Not as big a set as 4000 entries, just a
few hundred domains... Guess what: That was enough for all sort of
badness to slip through as W/L.... solidly undermining the
reputation/trust for the MailScanner system. Today I use a very
limited spamassassin whitelist instead (less than 10 domains...
actually less than 5:-), and that is it (apart from 127.0.0.1, of
course:).
Oh well, everyone to their own...:-).
