Note that under 1.8d you can exempt specific addresses from a domain you've already filtered, ie, say you have * Filter= Also,*@baddomain.com and you know a good person who wants to subscribe from that naughty domain. Under 1.8d (and please please please note that this does NOT work on 1.8c or earlier) you can code * Filter= Also,*@baddomain.com * Filter= Allow,[log in to unmask] or even just * Filter= Also,*@baddomain.com,Allow,[log in to unmask] and the filter will ignore that specific address, and Joe can subscribe, post, and set options just as if baddomain.com hadn't been filtered. Note that the "Allow" parameter must follow <all> the domains/users you have previously filtered, as anything coded after it is considered an "allowed" address. See the keyword appendix for details.
