Hi, does anyone know if there is a theorically limit to the amount of white/blacklist rules that MailScanner can handle? I've searched the archives and there is only 1 email without answer saying that he had 40k of rules and some random problems.<br>
<br>
I pretend to use them through a CustomFunction (&SQLWhitelist y &SQLBlacklist).<br>

If you implement it as a straight text ruleset, I wouldn't advise more than a thousand or so rules, as it has to check them in order and it will just gradually get slower as you add more rules. There is no theoretical limit, however.<br>
<br>
However, if you use a Custom Function to produce the answer, then you can of course make your logic as complicated as you like, it's your code.</blockquote><div><br>Thanks! I'll make some tests. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
