Here's one that has me a bit confused. I'm receiving mail from spammers

The user isn't in a whitelist, at least that I can find.

Well, finding it is what we need to do. I've never seen a USER_IN_WHITELIST FP before..



Hmm, well.. Let's see here.. USER_IN_WHITELIST points to it matching a whitelist_from, or whitelist_from_rcvd. Anything else would show up as a different hit.

SA will match either the Return-Path or the From: header address to whitelists, so we need to find something that would match "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" or "".


First, I'd suggest a spamassassin --lint run. Maybe there's some typo somewhere that's REALLY confusing SA.. I doubt it, but we should rule that out before going ahead.

After that I'd suggest grepping your configs for all the whitelist_from commands.

check the site_config dir, assuming /etc/mail/spamassassin is your site config:
        grep whitelist_from /etc/mail/spamassassin/*.cf

I'd also check around for user_prefs files in the following spots:
/root/.spamassassin/
/home/dba/.spamassassin/
/home/<real delivery user>/.spamassassin/
~nobody/.spamassassin/
