Awesome thanks for the answer, for the second part.  Does that one entry
make it so that people can send to earthlink address also?

Thank You

Whitelist_from_rcvd takes two parameters.. The first is a piece of text
to 
match in the From: header, and the second is a mailserver name that
needs 
to appear in the Received: headers.

Thus, the second parameter will not likely ever contain an @ sign. It's
not 
an email address, it's part of a server name (or all of one)

You probably want something like this:

whitelist_from_rcvd [EMAIL PROTECTED]  earthlink.net

or this:

whitelist_from [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Note the second is prone to forgery.. it will whitelist anything
claiming 
to be from earthlink.net, and won't check if it actually passed through
any 
servers owned by earthlink.

Another example for whitelisting this email from me would note that it's

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED], and the Received: path contains
xanadu.evi-inc.com.

whitelist_from_rcvd [EMAIL PROTECTED] xanadu.evi-inc.com

  or less specific about the server:
whitelist_from_rcvd [EMAIL PROTECTED] evi-inc.com
