Is there anyway to configure SA to not check spam status for certain mailboxes? IE: my hr dept wants their resume acct not tag any email as spam - regardless. I guess - is there a way to whitelist recepients?
SA itself does not have access to that information on all systems. SA sees the message and it's headers. It does not ever see the delivery envelope.
However, if the address is in the headers of the message (ie: in to To: or Cc: line, or put in some other header by your MTA) then SA can whitelist the message. Just use whitelist_to, more_spam_to, or all_spam_to, listed in increasing order of effectiveness.
Bear in mind that in most situations, if one message is sent to multiple people, SA only sees one copy of the message, and will whitelist it if any of the recipients are whitelisted. It also cannot tell if a message is Bcc'ed to the whitelisted user, unless you MTA adds the envelope recipient to the headers of the message.
Another alternative is if you use per-user configurations, then just jack up the spam threshold in that user's user_prefs. However, most mailserver installs are NOT going to have per-user configs, unless you pass a variable into spamc -u from procmail, or some similar behavior.
When it really boils down to it, reliable, caveat free whitelisting is really best done by whatever tool you have that calls SA in the first place. Those tools have reliable access to the delivery envelope, and can make proper decisions based on those. They can also choose not to call SA for that message in the first place, saving CPU time.
SA has some tools available to provide some built-in whitelisting of recipients, and they may work for you, but they do have limitations.
