 =item whitelist_bounce_relays hostname [hostname2 ...]
 
-The hostnames of relays that we trust to generate "good" bounce messages.
+This is used to 'rescue' legitimate bounce messages that were generated in
+response to mail you really *did* send.  List the MTA relays that your outbound
+mail is delivered through.  If a bounce message is found, and it contains one
+of these hostnames in a 'Received' header, it will not be marked as a blowback
+virus-bounce.
 
 The hostnames can be file-glob-style patterns, so C<relay*.isp.com> will work.
 Specifically, C<*> and C<?> are allowed, but all other metacharacters are not.
