makes sense at the end. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>No, you're overlooking the blacklist part. The
whitelist "no" parm you used for "test" indicates that it is not whitelisted
and must go through the normal steps of any other email. You need to add
test to the blacklist to make it definitely spam.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>You should use your example in a circumstance
where you might whitelist an entire domain, but want only the "test" address
"not" to be whitelisted. For example:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In whiteli! st file</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>FromOrTo: <A
href="mailto:test@domain.com">test@domain.com</A>
no</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>FromOrTo: <A
href="mailto:*@domain.com">*@domain.com</A>
yes</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In blacklist file</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>FromOrTo: <A
href="mailto:test@domain.com">test@domain.com</A>
yes</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This would exclude the "test" address from
whitelisting but whitelist everyone else in that domain . The blacklist
would make "test" definitely spam. The "no" in the white/black list is used
mostly for exclusions, the "yes" is for inclusion, for the white or black
list file it is inside of.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=! size=2 ?Arial?></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>By removing both entries above from the
whitelist and keeping the blacklist rule, you would be changing the strategy
only for the <A href="mailto:*@domain.com">*@domain.com</A> , as now
everyone but "test" would be required to pass your rules before it is
delivered. As stands above, everyone but "test" automatically
passes.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Clear? or more confusing?</FONT></DIV>
