Probably a dumb question, but...
Could somebody please advise the best method of whitelisting messages from a given
mailing list?
Users here are occasionally getting incoming mailing list messages flagged because of
their contents. I'd like to be able to atomatically whitelist those messages to avoid
this.
I've tried using configuration directives that looked promising, but without much luck:
'whitelist_from' doesn't work because (a) the messages come 'From:' individual
posters, and (2) the 'Sender:' address (which does reflect the mailing list) isn't in
the set of headers checked by this directive.
'whitelist_to', when given the mailing list address, only contributed -6. I guess I
could use all_spam_to, but it starts to look a bit odd given that the mailing list
address doesn't actually represent a local user.
I could of course just write custom regexp rules that matched the mailing list
addresses when found in the 'Sender:' header, and give them whacking great negative
scores, but it seems a bit kludgy. Am I missing an obvious, more orthodox way of doing
this?
Potentially relevant headers from a typical message follow:
Received: from LISTS.APPLE.COM by [192.168.2.3]
with ...
Received: from lists.apple.com (localhost [127.0.0.1])
by lists.apple.com (8.11.6/8.11.6) with ESMTP id h0V5Js625065;
...
From: "Joe Mailinglistmember" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: {some people},
"Mac OS
X Server" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
...
Subject: Something interesting
...
Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Errors-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
X-BeenThere: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
...
(None of the other headers that are checked by 'whitelist_from' are present.)
Cheers,
Robert
