From: "Matt Kettler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Some of the mail from the spamassassin mailing-list are consider as
spam.
I put in my rule : whitelist_to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
But it seems it's not working.
Well, "whitelist_to" will whitelist anything going to any address
@spamassassin.apache.org. You would want to use "whitelist_from"
instead.
No you don't. In general you want whitelist_to. Unfortunately this doesn't
work
for messages bcc'ed to the list. It also won't work for posts that are
still
sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
However, generally speaking that should work, although whitelist_to is a
bit on
the weak side. You might want to use all_spam_to instead of whitelist_to.
As everybody in that list must have the same problem than me, can anyone
gives me a hint ??
Sure, for a better/safer option than "whitelist_from", try:
whitelist_from_rcvd [EMAIL PROTECTED] apache.org
This will confirm the sender address includes "@spamassassin.apache.org"
and that the RDNS of the sending IP address also contains "apache.org".
Agreed, but the list isn't the message sender. It's the message recipient
and
resender (in the envelope)
Your whitelist_from_rcvd rule probably works for you because the
Return-Path:
header is used as a From in some cases, but this won't work for in setups
where
the envelope sender isn't visible to SA.
It is definitely worth a shot, and more secure than whitelist_to, but
whitelist_to should work.
Of course you are correct on both accounts. Thanks for pointing out the
obvious and the oversight.
