Hello, Thank you for your reply, and apologies for my delay in replying again.
If these emails are never going to match the whitelist, is there a way I can always allow emails from certain addresses in a fool-proof way? The addresses I need to allow though are very unlikely to be spoofed, so this isn't too much of a concern.
