(Whups!  My bad, "whitelist anywhere" is right there in black and white in
the current online manual.)

If you use this directive in your .cfg file:

PREWHITELIST ON

then you get "short-circuit evaluation", and a WHITELISTed message will get
processed a little faster than it otherwise would.

Without that directive, all tests are performed on the message, because any
of them could weight the message enough to change the action performed.

In my humble opinion, you should avoid whitelisting; I suggest using
counterweights instead as you illustrated in your question.  Save
whitelisting for things that are unquestionable, like whitelisting the IP of
an internal mail server.

Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Performance


Having just upgraded from JM Standard to Pro, I'm wondering about the best
way to approach some of the tests I previously set up.

Is there any difference between the following from a performance or
maintenance standpoint?:

Version A

Whitelist anywhere blahblah

Or

Version B

BODY -50 CONTAINS blahblah

Thanks

Rob
