Ahhhh... I see.  Thanks Matt.  I mis-understood the white list format.

How would I whitelist a machine?  I have Ham that is from major local ISP's
that I would like to white list.  I can figure out there SMTP server naming
conventions for example:

priv-edtnes57.telusplanet.net -> priv-*.telusplanet.net
misav02.sasknet.sk.ca -> misav*.sasknet.sk.ca

Any suggestions?

The bulk of the false positives I get now have legitimate headers but
contain the typical porn|jokes|objectional content that SA correctly flags.
These are always the multiple forwarded messages that everyone sends around.
