Please note the availability of the following option in the SpamFilter.ini file to handle exceptions with the first two blacklists that take priority over the whitelists:

;Add any IPs (separated by commas - no wildcards) that you do not wish to be automatically added to the Honeypot IP blacklist. This setting also prevents those IPs to be added to the IP cache blacklist, and to allow them to bypass the greylist filter
