If you are using procmail, make a whitelist recipe in his .procmailrc file. Technically, his mail will still go through spamassassin, but the whitelist will make the final delivery choice. Alternately, you can setup a 'hook' in your global procmailrc that will INCLUDE=$HOME/.whitelist.rc *before* the spamc call, then it will take precdence. In this case, he can then set a low score for spamassassin that will still allow most new correspondents through while catching most or all of the spam. Side note: I actually have a more complicated system that allows the user to specify their whitelist as a plain text file, one entry per line, and then when the modification date of whitelist.text is newer than .whitelist.rc I have a script re-generate the whitelist.rc file, taking care to escape all special characters, remove blank lines, etc. - Charles ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: ApacheCon 2003, 16-19 November in Las Vegas.
