Thanks Gareth - I'm testing it today and will post the results. This is
a really easy addition and if it works well the others will find it
useful. It is especially useful for people processing over a million
messages a day and it should reduce FP, increase speed, reduce system
load. I'm just messing with the threashold settings to see how many
hosts I can automatically whitelist without accidentally letting spam
bypass the filters.
