Kai, TMDA is not designed to add entire domains to your whitelist through a confirmation of the challenge/response cycle, however, if you really want this functionality, you could probably get it to work if you are using an SQL database to store your lists as opposed to text and/or (auto)CDB/DBM files, since with the SQL option you write the SQL code that inserts confirmed addresses into the database. All you would need to do is strip off the username as you are inserting the email. That said, I don't think it's a good idea to allow a confirmation message to whitelist an entire domain.
Now as for Q2, if you are using TMDA-OFMIPD or a mail program set up to work with TMDA (Usually on the same host as TMDA) then you can set the ACTION_OUTGOING and BARE_APPEND configuration variables in your config file to be: ACTION_OUTGOING = "bare=append" BARE_APPEND = os.path.expanduser("~/.tmda/lists/<LISTNAME>") Where <LISTNAME> is the list of your choosing (for example 'whitelist' ) Then any time you send a message and it doesn't get picked up by any other rules in your outgoing filter, it will be appended to the list you've specified.
