Ruleset question

[Alex Neuman]

Thanks for the heads up. It *was* a typo, thanks for spotting that.

In any case, I'll try adding him to whitelist.rules with a "no" - although
he isn't whitelisted, and there's no mention of being whitelisted in the
logs, even though pretty much anything that can be logged is being logged.
