I mean, I usually send mails from .ch domains in switzerland, but this spam came from elsewhere (.com, as usual). > On the other hand, I don't know about you, but when I get something > claiming to be from me in my inbox, with a subject I didn't send out, > then I get suspicious even if the subject doesn't start with > "****SPAM****" Of course, I didn't have to really read the mail to find out it was spam, but thinking about customers of us who may have the same problem, they are maybe surprised and not really happy about our spam filter, because it's not working (in their eyes, because they only see what gets through, not what's held back). My solution will be: Turn off auto whitelisting at all.
