I should have added that it's also possible and perhaps likely
for the same whitelisted domain to appear more than once in the
log since the data is currently fairly short-lived given the 4
day expiration.  The new engine will probably have a base 10
day expiration and have some other longer memories.

Multiple whitelist hits are essentially a non-problem because
it means those domains are (being mis-reported but) not getting
onto the list.

Multiple blacklist appearances by the same domain are suboptimal
however, since it means probable spam domains could get missed
until the reporting threshold to trigger list inclusion is
reached again.  That will be addressed....
