I hope you're aware that MAC filtering is next to useless.  About all
it's good for is avoiding *accidental* connections between networks.
There's no security in it.

A *ahem* friend of mine learned last year just how easy it was to defeat said MAC filtering on those WAPs. I now run mine as an extranet off my main firewall.

Fairly easy to do w/ Linux + iptables.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
