Nope. That would be the nobl and yellow lists:
"White on our lists means that anything that comes from the source is
good email and needs no further testing. NOBL is like most other's
white lists but means this IP or host name should not be black listed.
So no need to check the black lists. Yellow listing indicates a mixed
source of good email and spam. Sources like Hotmail, Yahoo, and Gmail
are yellow sources. Yellow means that the IP address or host name
contains no information about if it is good or bad and no reason to
check white or black lists."
It quite clearly states that all email from whitelisted hosts is ham.
Correct Mike - on my system:
black = block it
white = ham
nobl = don't blacklist or check any other blacklist = myybe whitelist
yellow = IP contains no info. Don't blacklist or whitelist (yahoo,
gmail, hotmail)
