Address Book as Whitelist?

Now, the answer begets a question: Is it possible that in a future

version of Pegasus it could be an option for content filtering to use

the address book as a whitelist? I can see the logic behind both yes

and no answers, but an option would allow the user to choose. Any

thoughts?

I have no idea if this is possible at all and v5.x is going to have a new addressbook as well.  Might be possible, but only David can tell if this will work out.

Subquestion (possibly answered elsewhere in the forums): is an update

to address book functionality (basically, bringing it in line with

current standards, it is dated after all) on the table?

There is going to be a new addressbook, probably based on one of the RFCs for an addressbook so it could be more easily imported and exported.   David has done some preliminary work on this but we've not seen it.

Hi there,

Please forgive my ignorance, but is there an option in Pegasus for content filtering to treat the address book as a whitelist? Much like the global whitelist for all addresses you have sent mail to? I use Pegasus in conjunction with popfile and to prevent against any false positives I exempt any whitelisted e-mail addresses from filtering into my spam folder. I would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you!

Sorry, no there is not.  The only way you can filter against a list is via a dist. list scan type filter.

Thanks again, Thomas, for answering one of my questions.

As always you have my thanks for reading and responding. Congratulations to all involved with the 4.5 beta for the public release!
