Along those lines, it'd be nice to define things which are like whitelists and blacklists, but have separate lists and separate scores. So, like, I might have:But I think that the point in having a lists that are black and white are to prevent them from falling into the grey areas in between.
addlist white to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # same as whitelist_to
addlist black from [EMAIL PROTECTED] # same as blacklist_from
addlist block from [EMAIL PROTECTED]
addlist grey from [EMAIL PROTECTED]
then set the score for "white" to be -100, black to be +10 or 15, block to be +100, and grey might be -10 or -15. But the point is, we wouldn't be locked in to exactly two types of list (black and white) and we could set the scores for each list independently.
I'm not sure why you would ever have block and grey lists.
You either remove them from sending you email unconditionally.
You accept their email unconditionally.
You maybe accept their email, but at least it's in another folder for you to go through.
You have to keep in mind that if someone always sends you an email of score=0 and you black list them their scores for each email goes like this:
50
25
12.5
6.75 (At this point most people would not delete the email.)
(and so on).
Even blacklisting is only temporary by some measures.
If you really do intend on never ever receiving mail from them ever again then I would suggest something like this as a procmail rule:
:0 c
* ? $FORMAIL -zx From: | $FGREP -iqf $BLACKLIST
/dev/null
and be done with it.
You see, if you use spamassassin you run into a couple of problems:
1) fgrep is faster then spamassassin
2) This rule never allows them in. There is no blacklist score reduction
3) They don't get dumped to Razor, which might be improper to do so.
