I tried the INCLUDERC business with the whitelist and immediately ran into
the buffer overflow problem. I had to chop the list up into smaller
sections in order to make it work (which I did for a couple of weeks).
Once I figured out how to make the recipe grep a file then I switched
immediately. For me the advantages are:
1. I don't have to keep manipulating the .rc to keep the chunks under the
buffer limit.
2. I can add comments to each address so I won't forget who
abc89(_at_)hotmail(_dot_)com (for example) is.
3. The whitelist acts as a quick address book. From pine, ^Z, grep -i
Bob, and I get a list of Bob's to pick from. Using the "regular"
address book, I always have to remember whether the "Bob" I want is
bob-a, bob-b, bob-c, or what. (So I wind up doing a search on the
address book anyway.)

If there are only clean addresses on each line, it can be used on
the left side, by changing it to an includable rc:
myFriends = "
john(_dot_)relative(_at_)domain(_dot_)com
pete(_dot_)relative(_at_)domain(_dot_)com
"
Keep that friends.rc limited to a few KB of course.
INCLUDERC = "friends.rc"
:0
*$ myFriends ?? ^[ ]*$MATCH[ ]*^
{ FRIEND = YES }
I do something similar I rolled myself to run a few small private
mailing lists.
