Firstly thanks for the helpful replies to my previous questions...
I am now working on refining the scores for my own personal situation, and
have run into another couple of issues that I could not quite figure out
from the documentation...
(1) If I want to add new rules, such as Jennifer's "Popcorn" etc rules that
someone kindly pointed me to, should I put them into my
.spamassassin/user_prefs file? (I am not root). Is there an "include"
mechanism for this file so that I can keep the sets of rules separate?
(2) I have reduced my threshold to 2.0 and changed the score of the
HTML_MESSAGE rule to 2.5 thus eliminating all HTML messages. So far (2 days)
this has picked up a fair bit of spam, but no false positives... but I
wonder whether I should be using a more refined tool to get these... [Some
places do send me HTML newsletters etc, but I have just whitelisted the ones
that I want to get]
(3) I have set up whitelists for areas where I need to get mail.. for
example from people within my own university
whitelist_from *.uwa.edu.au
BUT, I want to *blacklist* my own address....
blacklist_from [EMAIL PROTECTED]
However these two just cancel each other out, rather than the blacklisting
outweighing the whitelisting...
I guess I could up the score for the blacklist rule, but I read somewhere
(no idea where now) that there was an "unwhitelist" command.. So I bunged
unwhitelist_from [EMAIL PROTECTED]
after the whitelist, and before the blacklist... but it had no effect. Any
comments/ideas?
Related question: obviously the "From" field is easy to forge.. can I use IP
ranges for whitelists instead of names?
Cheers
Gordon
