[SAtalk] whitelists and auto-whitelists

[Rudy Rucker]

I noticed I was starting to get more and more spam. Here is what happened:
[1] I have a couple of email addresses I have manually whitelisted, eg:
all_spam_to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[2] Now, when john.doe gets a spam, the final socre is something like: -90
[3] The auto-whitelist adjusts the score of the sender ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) with hefty -90.

So, how can I adjust SpamAssassin to not add 'all_spam_to' and 'whitlist_from' rank adjustments to the final auto_whitelist thing? A valid range for final auto-whitelist consideration would be nice... -20 to +20 for example.

(Note: This was all from using SpamAssassin 2.41, I just updated to 2.43 about 10 minutes ago).

here is a little patch I made to the tools/check_whitelist script to allow
the path/directory of the auto-whitelist as the arguement.
