Indeed, good point. The difference between an earlier accept stanza
and the deny-unless example I showed is whether addresses in the
whitelist get subjected to other tests below.
If you want to exclude whitelisted addresses from all additional
tests, use an accept stanza before the dnslists deny. If you only
want to suppress the DNSBL (or any other specific) check, use
negative conditions in the particular deny stanza.
In my case I want to bypass specific tests, but not other later tests
(like virus scanning).
