You have to be very careful what you include in the whitelist file, especially if it's just text. For instance, I had the line "TEXT: luxsci.com" in my file. What you need to know is that this plug-in apparently searches *the entire header* for this text. My e-mail provider happens to be luxsci.com. I wanted to whitelist any e-mail coming from that domain. Unfortunately, the plug-in ends up whitelisting *any* e-mails that have luxsci.com *anywhere* in the header. *All* my *own* e-mail messages no matter who they were from had this string in them. Thus, *every single e-mail* I received ended up being whitelisted. The appearance was that the plug-in had stopped working entirely. Because of this I recommend only putting *full* e-mail addresses in the whitelist such as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" Hope this helps a bit. -- Scott A.
