Sorry for the run on message before.  I have MIMEDefang set up with the
md_check_against_smtp_server setting.  So, it checks my server first to see
if the address is valid or not.  So, do you think it is still a problem with
just putting the addresses I want to reject in the access database?  The
reason I would prefer that method is because the list of rejections is much
smaller than the accept list, and the reject list does not change like the
accept list does.

One more question.  If my method will work, I want to put the rejections
first in the list and then the global one to accept after those, correct?

Thanks for your help.

Jeff
