White lists per domain.

[Richard Mealing]

Hi,

 

I am running mailscanner with sa and trying out this whitelist per
domain. It's working ok apart from we seem to get some issues where
white listing is not taking place.

I am adding the entries like the following in the domain files - 

 

Dir_to_directory/example.com

 

*@domain.com

*domain.com

person at domain.com

 

And so on. I take it this is ok, as apposed to the following format -

 

From: *blahdomain.com              yes ## 

 

 

In my logs I see the following -

I would like to know if there's any limit of entries I can add to the
whitelists, and why I keep seeing it stop and start all the time. I
wondering if when it stops this is when the entries get through and
become spam?

 

We've had a few complaints that white list entries are getting through.
I can't see much documentation about this anywhere. 

 

Every domains whitelist has the global list we used to have, so all the
whitelists are very large. I had to do this as some entries in the
global list didn't have comments by them to say who they were for.

 

Many thanks,
