I changed them to be equal to each other so that you can go the other way too -- cancel a whitelist entry with a more specific blacklist. You can use multiple WL/BL entries if you want to give extra +/- 100 bonuses, eg:
# I like my own domain whitelist *@hughes-family.org # Dad's always forwarding spam to the rest of the family blacklist [EMAIL PROTECTED] # Spammers keep forging "webmaster" which is an address that doesn't exist blacklist [EMAIL PROTECTED] blacklist webmaster*@hughes-family.org The last one is admitedly very kludgy, but I don't see how else I can cancel the -100 bonus, except by doing an even-more-kludgy listing of 10 different blacklist entries for john@ BTW I'm not actually using this feature myself, the hughes-family stuff is just an example. I made the change though I think in response to some user request. I've updated the comment line in CVS to reflect what "we never change" actually means. Specifically, it means the WHITE/BLACKLIST scores are not to be affected by the GA.
