whitelist issues

[David Daniluk]

If I am not misunderstanding what you mean... The rule is in the middle of
other rules. It would look similar to the below. May I as what you meant by
"the setting you are applying"? I did not know that there were settings
that could be applied to rules. I feel like all the rules I have are
'generic' white-list rules; I do not think I have any areas that would be
considered to be settings.

From:   *@oneexample.com                                   AND TO: *@
mydomain.com   yes
From:   *@onesub.twosub.anotherexample.com   AND TO: *@mydomain.com   yes
From:   *@towexample.com                                   AND TO: *@
mydomain.com   yes
