If it really works this way it doesn't work as I expect it to work. A domain 
literal is not a regex. Documentation says only strings with // around them are 
processed as regex. "example.net" may match for example.net and any subdomain of 
it, but it should not match example.net.whatever. That is how matches in sendmail 
and other black/whitelists I know work. And milter-greylist seems to work just like 
this. 
So "acl whitelist example.net" is just enough. As I understand regex would only be 
necessary if you need complex matching, f.i. /pool\..*\.verizon\.net/
