[MBF] whitelist FROM address

2015-01-03 Thread Carl Wagar
Hi. I have an ongoing problem. Declude-Sender screws up whitelisting. Is there any way we can have the whitelists use the FROM address and NOT just the Declude-Sender? Whitelisting doesn't work much of the time because increasingly, firms are using mailing list services instead of their

Oops sorry you are right. I was thinking REVDNSREVDNSEXISTS x x 10 0 Now I remember. I did comment out all the 3rd party mailer entries in GOOD_REVDNS.txt because frankly as soon as this was put in place for me (by Linda attempting to help me a
