I've done more testing and this is what I have determined.  Please let me 
know if I am correct or not.

If I want to white list a domain my office is sending to, I use rcpt_to?
If I want to whitelist a domain my office is receiving email from, I use 
mail_from?
If this is true, there does not seem to be any way to use domain named to 
whitelist receiving mail.  This means IP addresses must be used.  For 
testing I used hotmail.com.  I did 'dig hotmail.com MX' and found the mail 
exchange addresses.  But when I sent mail from hotmail, the IP connected 
with was not even in the list I found.  Am I missing a method to figure 
out which IP addresses must be entered to whitelist?

Thank you.
