RE: [Assp-user] adding domain for whitelist

I don't think this is a good idea, especially when you consider that some
spammers and viruses use known domains with bogus email names for their
spoofed from: header.

"Common" elements are usually what are preyed upon.

The whitelist option is for addresses, I'm referring to domain names. I'd
like to modify the whitelisteddomains parameters through an email message.
But perhaps it would be better if these whitelisted domains were put in a
seperate file like the whitelisted addresses.

1) It's common to expect an email from a specific domain name where the
sender's address is not known in advance.  These days, a lot of very
important business is conducted over e-mail and it can be tragic to lose an
important email in the spam bucket.

2) It is also common for some mail list services, such as industry
newsletters, to create ad hoc sender addresses. These ad hoc addresses
should not be whitelisted of course.

Having an easier way to add these domain names (i.e. via email
client) would be nice.
