[obol] white list/ black list

[Mike Patterson]

My service provider (Pacifier/iinet) has a function called white listing
which allows me to over-ride any blocked messages.  Pacifier routinely
blocks folks like AOL because those are the providers of choice for
cyber evil-doers (ironic, huh?).

I go to my account page and in the mail functions there is a place for
setting mail filters.  I can type in specific addresses to the white
list to keep them unblocked and I can type in specific addresses into 
a black list and keep them out.

This may be something worth trying for those who think they're being 
blocked, though I can't guarantee it will work for the big companies.
