Rarely. These pre-configured whitelists are under my direct control (the
script updating them fetch files on a web server that I maintain) and my
filter to allow new entries in is :
- they must be cases that auto-whitelisting doesn't handle efficiently,
- they must affect several users.

If this doesn't pass the first test this defeats the greylisting process
(greylisting is not whitelisting...).
If this doesn't pass the second test this might be a fluke or a
temporary situation.

You can maintain whitelists yourself by creating files with ".local"
appended to the original name. These files are under your direct control
and won't ever be overwritten by SQLgrey.

You should not have to adjust anything unless your users report delayed
emails from specific domains for an extended period (several days).

If there is a problem on some origin domains you can inspect the logs to
find our what is going on with these domains and if they don't behave
well enough for SQLgrey to auto-whitelist them add entries to
/etc/sqlgrey/clients_fqdn_whitelist.local or
/etc/sqlgrey/clients_ip_whitelist.local (see the original files for the
format used). You are then encouraged to report them here so that I can
keep track of domains which need whitelisting to perform well.

Best regards,
