I'm wondering if there's a way to have spamd automatically
whitelist *blocks* of addresses?

Why: various large email providers (gmail comes to mind) will
resend the (greylisted) email on different outgoing SMTP servers.
Since I don't get enough email to populate all the outgoing SMTP
servers as whitelist entries, it's a pain. Also, I don't want to
be micromanaging the email server to see which IP addresses are
getting through and which ones aren't and manually adding them
to the whitelist.

How: I'd propose a flag on the command line, that gives the CIDR
prefix (the "/nn" value) for blocks of addresses. So, you'd
specify something like -X24 and this would basically view all
ip addresses /24 as being "the same" for the purposes of
whitelisting. Thus, an attempt on 1.2.3.4 and 1.2.3.5 would be
considered as two attempts on the "same" IP address...

Thoughts?

Cheers,
-RK
