Whitelist not working

[Denis Beauchemin]

Martin,

I have many rules files with default rules at the beginning of the files and they work just fine. Also I couldn’t find any warning about this in the /etc/MailScanner/rules/README file that explains how to use rules so I have to assume there is no such requirement.

You sure - Jules always used to say the rules files are treated liek firewall rules, first line to hit as you work from top to bottom will activate.
Unless, of course it changed while I've not bee following too much.

This is not true: no need to put the default line last.

The default should be last in the file.

From: *@*.mydomain.com<http://mydomain.com>          yes
FromOrTo:       default         no
