Actually, I prefer that it run the test and then whitelist. We have had to whitelist a few domains that are actually open relays - their admins swear they have closed the relays. We send out a warning email to sender that their mail is sent from an open relay - so they know that their admins still have the server on the open relay list.

Does whitelisting mean that the >tests will not be run, or rather that the tests will still be run against >whitelisted items but not applied? The whitelisting was originally set up as a way to clear any tests that the E-mail had failed, rather than to prevent the tests from being run. When it was originally added, it was assumed that it would only be used for rare cases (and it really is best to only use it in rare cases). However, in practice, it seems that a lot of people use it as a way of handling false positives (often having dozens or even over 100 whitelist entries, and then complaining that no spam gets caught because they have "WHITELIST FROM mail.com"...). Anyways, it would be more efficient to do the whitelisting before the tests are run, so we are going to see what that would require, and whether or not it would be feasible. -Scott --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
