So your whitelist can be the aliases file type format, or just a
list of addresses.
Thanks for the advice Dallman. I think the reason it works for me
(to date, anyway) is that I am just an end-user with not a very
large .aliases/whitelist file, and not many users. I understand
that mail server admins with many users would have to be much more
precise.
I gathered from the OP's request that he is in a similar situation
to me, rather than a server admin, and that is why I posted my
recipe. I don't even come close to knowing as much as some of you
guys about detailed regex/recipes, but when I think I can help (what
I think is a) simple end-user query wanting a simple fix, I do so.
I apologise to him if my presumption is incorrect - he can of course
take it or leave it.
I'm the OP, and yes just myself as a user, with about twenty or so names in
my .aliases/whitelist.
One further question.
I can decipher the first and second lines, but where does the email end up
after it's checked against the .alias/white list?
And yes I have looked thru the email archive, maybe I just need some advice
as to what to search for.
thanks
jerry
