There should be something in the headers of the messages from your own e-commerce system that you can use to recognize those messages. Put a procmail recipe in to route them directly through to delivery without even feeding them to spamassassin
I might be tempted to look for the ip address of my webserver in a Received: header - I would expect the e-mail to all originate on one ip address until the ISP changes it to all originate on another ip address. Another approach would be to add a header, X-Password: This is from me and switch on that. Either way, something that is as clean and reproducible as e-mail you are assembling in a computer program should be recognized in a special-purpose recipe and routed around spamassassin, you don't need artificial intelligence to identify it as ham and this will improve the performance of your e-mail server. dan On Mon, 27 Oct 2003, Colin A.
