From: http://tmda.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/TmdaFaq#head-0b1aee3c2decf32a26ffcc12b397f9d3cec3fdc0 How do I setup an "auto-whitelist"? TMDA has the ability to automagically add confirmed addresses to a whitelist. This way, each new sender only has to go through the confirmation process once. ... Then TMDA will the add the senders from successfully confirmed messages to the 'whitelist_confirmed' file. A possible variation on this includes setting CONFIRM_APPEND to your main whitelist file rather than a secondary file. This strongly suggests the auto-whitelist feature will not function in the absence of the C/R feature. Put another way, the auto-whitelist function is dependent upon the C/R function. Senders must reply to the challenge email in order to be added to the whitelist. Am I reading this wrong? -- Stan
