Greetings! So I get this spam from Yahoo!
From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Feb 6 14:21:38 2003
From: Yahoo! Shopping <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
No surprise. But:
X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-92.2 required=5.0
tests=PLING,EXCUSE_10,CLICK_BELOW,SPAM_REDIRECTOR,WEB_BUGS,
FREQ_SPAM_PHRASE,SPAM_PHRASES_020,USER_IN_WHITELIST
version=2.31
USER_IN_WHITELIST? wtf? I don't think so! What's going on? I run the
message through spamassassin -t and get a little more detail:
SPAM: USER_IN_WHITELIST (-100.0 points)From: address is in the user's white-list
wtf? I take a look at <~/.spamassassin/user_prefs>. Of the
whitelist_from entries without any wildcard characters, none of them
match (no surprise here). Of the four that have '*' in them, there's no
way that any of them could match:
From: Yahoo! Shopping <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
So how can spamassassin say USER_IN_WHITELIST ?
Thanks,
David
P.S. I'm not looking for a "here's how you stop from getting this
kind of message". I really want to know just exactly how
spamassassin can say that this "user" is in my whitelist.
There's obviously something I'm not grokking. Thanks!
