Question about whitelists

Hi,

Since the whitelist table is fairly simple I see no problem in doing
so. Just import them. I think they are loaded up front and them doing
a hash lookup so its quick.

I see no problem in doing it, but its an amazing large list ... I sure
hope they know how it would affect the system, since spam sent from
these addresses would get skiped by MS.

Why even have whitelist unless these 20k addresses sends mails that
contains something that would otherwise get filtered by the spam
scanning engine in MS(SpamAssassin or other rules)

mvh
