having thought about this a little more, i think that some facility to support whitelisting would be nice, either via something like a berkeley db file of allowed nets or a list of "whitelist" dnsbls.

for example, i am using the whitelist provided by habeas via dns and automatically pass all such mail through, depending on habeas and their contracts to handle email discipline. i'd need to be able to immunize habeas email from this particular feature.

the whitelist doesn't need to be dnsbl driven, although if the mechanisms to use dnsbls for the blocking side are already there...
