In which form can one submit the subdomain of a mail sender for the integration in 60_whitelist_auth.cf. Which information is required for consideration?
There is no process by which a sender can pro-actively apply for the addition of a def_whitelist_auth entry in that file. Entries are added rarely, when a committer to the project sees a need for an entry due to false positives or borderline scoring of messages from a sender who is not known to send ANY spam and is known to send "ham" that users value highly. Removal of entries is equally ad hoc and unilateral, and more rare. If a committer is convinced that an entry is causing spam to be misclassified as ham, they can remove that entry.
Note that the above describes concrete process and vague criteria, not any sort of objective formal policy. There is no objective official policy. The normal state for any sender is to not have an entry. I believe that most committers to the project would agree with me that ideally there would be no such list because high-value ham would be more readily distinguishable from spam. Additions and removals happen when they are believed to address a concrete problem being experienced by actual SpamAssassin users. I don't recall any significant disagreements about entries in that list, but if there were any they could be discussed here or on the 'dev' list. Ultimately, the PMC would be the final authority on including an entry or not, however our processes for deciding anything that becomes an issue for the PMC is biased towards stability, not agility.
