Stephen,
TMDA does not ship with any defaults, except a couple of customizable
text files (templates). It is entirely up to the user to create a TMDA
configuration along with his own whitelist and filter directives.
TMDA is actually not just a C-R system. C-R is only part of the system. It
is also has a very powerful and configurable mail filter, and it is also a
Mail Delivery Agent. You can read about the features of TMDA at
http://tmda.net/features.html
I don't have a problem with adding documentation, in fact I had already
planned on adding a note to README.Debian on the next release listing the
addresses that the user should be sure to whitelist if he expects to be able
to communicate with the BTS.
