Hi all, I removed the commas as per matts suggestion but the whitelist_from line in my ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs file still doesn't seem to work
Heres the line in my user_prefs file: whitelist_from root* Super-User heres the mail header after SA: >From root Thu Jan 1 15:39:58 2004 Received: (from [EMAIL PROTECTED]) by host.domain.com (8.11.6+Sun/8.11.6) id i01Ndud00192 for root; Thu, 1 Jan 2004 15:39:56 -0800 (PST) Date: Thu, 1 Jan 2004 15:39:56 -0800 (PST) From: Super-User <root> Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: root Subject: Your crontab file has an error in it Content-Type: text X-Spam-Flag: YES X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.61 (1.212.2.1-2003-12-09-exp) on host.domain.com X-Spam-Level: ***** X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=5.5 required=5.0 tests=MIME_HEADER_CTYPE_ONLY, MSGID_FROM_MTA_SHORT,TO_MALFORMED autolearn=no version=2.61 X-Spam-Report: * 0.3 TO_MALFORMED To: has a malformed address * 3.3 MSGID_FROM_MTA_SHORT Message-Id was added by a relay * 1.9 MIME_HEADER_CTYPE_ONLY 'Content-Type' found without required MIME headers Your "crontab" on pacifica ....... etc So you can see the mail is still not getting handled correctly, I have another whitelist_from entry after this one and it works fine, is there something different about the root is handled by SA Rgds, Simon. > -----Original Message----- > From: Matt Kettler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, December 29, 2003 5:39 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [SAtalk] whitelist question > > At 02:08 PM 12/28/03 -0800, S.
