Hi all,

it is not clear to me how SA handles white listing.

Normally, one does not want to use a white-listed
mail to update the Bayes classifier because once
white-listed the mail could contain ANYTHING.

However, it appears that the whitelisting only
subtracks 100 points from the score, resulting
in it automatically being added as 'ham'.

What is it that SA (2.55) does?  I've white listed
*this* mailinglist for example, but I really don't want
it to be classified as ham!

Please check the docs, Bayes auto_learn does not take notice of whitelisting: (from man Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf)


Note that certain tests are ignored when determining whether a message should be trained upon:
- auto-whitelist (AWL)
- rules with tflags set to 'learn' (the Bayesian rules)
- rules with tflags set to 'userconf' (user white/black-listing rules, etc)


Regards,
Simon
