Oh, ok, that seems acceptable.

FWIW, Ivan sent me the patch behind the scene, and I'd like some
feedback from other contributors. Especially from Remy Card for ACL
interraction.

I wonder if there woulnd't be some benefit to expcitely pull various
whitelist/greylist methods from the ACL. Something like this:

acl whitelist sendmaildb 
acl greylist default

That would enable mixing greylist.conf ACL with sendmail DB. The same
trick could be used for SPF. I wonder if it would make sense to do the
same for SMTP auth or authowhitelist, as those would always tend to be
thefirst items in the ACL.

Opinions? Don't hesitate to tell me that it's useless and too
complicated :-)
