You will note my post before Christmas about the up and coming whitelisting mechanism - I am still collecting details for people wanting to use it - unfortunately for a variety of reasons the whitelisting mechanism is still not ready to go public.

Speaking about whitelisting....comp.mail.sendmail google link...Reproduced below..

Hello all,

I was wondering if any of you use *dns* lists for whitelisting purposes.
I have found a couple of whitelists online (bondedsenders) and their
m4 was far from satisfactory. I have found that the below (trivial)
modification to dnsblaccess.m4 allows me to specify that a specific
return value from the access map will *whitelist* the connection.

Has anyone gone in this direction before?
