SA vs. postfix main.cf

2004-12-05 Thread David Newman
Greetings, and apologies is thisn't the right forum for this post. I've already asked on postfix-users with no luck there. We run postfix and SpamAssassin. Postfix's use of RBL is pre-empting SA's ability to whitelist specific senders. I'm wondering if there is some way to override that. We ru

I am getting more and more confused :) If the sender is a NATed box in 192.168/16 space, and the receiver also is a NATed box in 192.168/16, rhe received message will have a by 192.168.xx.yy, and seemingly never left the trusted network. If you change trusted networks to 127. or your public ip,

> trusted! That seems too permissive to me. Am I still not understanding > trusted_networks correctly? Yup. Those are on the other side of an *un*trusted network, so they don't count. Trusted networks determine where the trust stops. It doesn't (so far as I know) restart after that.
