[Mimedefang] Whitelsit Format

[Jason KRISCH]

>From the SA docs:

Whitelists and Blacklists:

You can define a whitelist, a list of domains and/or addresses from which email will never be tagged as spam no matter what its score is. This is done with the whitelist_from directive. Likewise, a blacklist is a list of domain and/or addresses from which email will always be tagged as spam.You can have as many of either of these directives as you want, one per line. File glob-style patterns are supported. Below is an example section of the user_prefs file.

# Whitelist and blacklist addresses are now file-glob-style
#patterns, so "friend at somewhere.com", "*@isp.com", or 
#"*.domain.net" will all work.
# whitelist_from someone at somewhere.com
whitelist_from *uiuc.edu
whitelist_from *uillinois.edu
whitelist_from *@friends.com 
whitelist_from meghan at colleagues.com


blacklist_from *@spamhut.com
blacklist_from *@massamrketing.com

Question:
======
Does this mean that ONLY these types of examples are valid?  What about:

*@*acme.com
*acme.*
*acme*

This has come up because of promo e-mails from partners, etc.  Like:  From: footballguy at acmefreeticketstoday.com  or something silly like that.  These are one / two times addresses used by vaild partners / clients to send us promos or information.  Novell, Inc. is a good example of people doing this.

Thanks,
