automatic whitelisting is pretty simple at the moment -- if you receive a message from someone, and that message is identified as "not spam", then a counter in a database (either a real database, or jm's Dir-based database) is incremented for that sender. If a sender's count reaches 3, that sender is evermore treated as "blessed", and any further mails they send you will automatically get a -100 score bonus. The idea is that sometimes people with whom you correspond frequently might send you something which looks like spam, but isn't. In those cases, the message will be allowed through, because you trust the person who sent it. Hopefully you're not running Outlook and your friend isn't sending you a macro virus :)

Hi there! I just noticed a 404-site not found: http://spamassassin.org/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Conf.html Btw, can anybody tell me, how automatic whitelisting works exactly? I didn't find it in the documents ...
