Won't this only work if you have complete email addresses listed
in the $SPAMMERS & $FRIENDS list. If some cases I have blacklisted
whole domains while in others I have only black listed specific
email addresses.
I list ONLY domains in the blacklist file to block whole domains, for
obvious reasons. my whitelist file is complete emailaddresses, again
for obvious reasons.
If you put a complete address in the blacklist, only mails with the
complete address will get blocked. it's a simple (f)grep.
You really should think about employing either the -x or at least the
-w option to fgrep.
Suppose you have me, dman(_at_)nomotek(_dot_)com, in your whitelist. Now
suppose
that the mythical feldman(_at_)nomotek(_dot_)com writes you for the first time.
You wouldn't want him to be whitelisted, would you?
