> will contact me to request that an incoming email be whitelisted. The
> only information they have is 1) sending email address and 2)
> receiving email address. Of course, spamd only deals in IP addresses
> and it may be difficult to find the ip address of the sending mail
> server. Additionally, I'd like to provide some method to the users
> where they could whitelist someone themselves without requesting
> directly from me.

> any IP address...it gets whitelisted automatically. I envision this
> only happening one time and then returning to greylisting as normal.
> I understand that there's a chance of someone sending spam through in
