Scott:
Well, maybe that is why we are having problems. We are working with the
WHITELISTFILE option, not the global WHITELIST option. Perhaps we are
working under the wrong assumptions but we rather expected that the syntax
in the WHITELISTFILE would be the same as that for the WHITELIST option.
So, it appears that we simply need the address or partial address in the
file with no FROM included. This apparently will also mean that we cannot
whitelist by subject such as is often used by mailing lists, incuding this
one. Is this correct?
Yet, why on earth would the following then work:
FROM "WebMaster" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
when this does not:
FROM [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Again, this is using the WHITELISTFILE option on a per user basis.
Can you point me to a URL which has the syntax for the WHITELISTFILE,
preferably with some samples. I have been unable to find this in the
archives. I should also like to know whether there are other functions of
the whitelist file option other than simply working on a full or partial
sender's address.
Thanks,
Erik
