How can I make spamassassin not look at the blacklist_from addresses if it finds
a user listed in whitelist_from?
You can't. (read on)
Or another way, how can I exclude one user from getting the USER_IN_BLACKLIST score?
No.
I have in my user_prefs file:
whitelist_from [EMAIL PROTECTED]
blacklist_from [EMAIL PROTECTED]
spamassassing seems to look at the blacklist_from first and then quits looking if there is a match. So when I get a message from [EMAIL PROTECTED], it tags it as spam.
Really, that message should match both USER_IN_BLACKLIST and USER_IN_WHITELIST, so the scores should offset each other.
Can you check the X-Spam-Status?
