Yes, whitelisting would be very good — perhaps at both the address and 
even at the domain level.  I have several clients using MailMate who 
love it greatly — but the skull at first really creeped them out, and 
now it just annoys them because they happen to deal regularly with 
correspondents whose email names *by corporate policy* are their own 
email addresses:

     robert at example.com <robert at example.com>

Blech, to be sure!  What an awful idea!  But apparently it’s 
relatively common.  And it’s MailMate that gets the blame, at least in 
my clients’ minds.

Anyway, being able to suppress the warnings for all of (say) example.com 
would be very handy for folks who have to deal with such organizations.

Cheers,

— Erik
