[Gllug] Whitelist-only spam filtering

Yes - and I can understand the point being made. The whitelist is a
useful concept when you can define the range of acceptable emails to a
select group of known users. Beyond that, it's only useful for picking
out 'VIP' emails for priority attention (hence my entirely theoretical
musings on a three tier system).

Alternatively, just keep your head down and avoid getting too much mail
in the first place (I filter the flood of GLLUG messages into a separate
folder, and separate out one or two other major streams as well - the
trickle of everything else is easy to keep tabs on).
