Hi Matt Thanks for your response - and sorry for the delay. You may well be right. I am using sa with sendmail - so perhaps sendmail is adding the Return-Path after sa has done its bit. I note that the address which appears in the "Return Path" comes from other fields in the header - namely:
Mailing-List: list [EMAIL PROTECTED]; contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] Delivered-To: mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] List-Id: <OziUsers-L.yahoogroups.com> Precedence: bulk List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 12 Mar 2007 12:07:56 -0000 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Should SA not use some of these fields to recognise a white listed address? One other possibility is that the address in my white list is literally like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Complete with the square parenthesis. I am wondering whether the parenthesis has confused the white list match. I have taken the parenthesis out to see what happens. Any thoughts on this possibility? Thanks again Richard. -----Original Message----- From: Matt Kettler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 14 March 2007 10:52 PM To: Richard Subject: Re: Spamassassin doesn't seem to obey my whitelist Richard wrote: >> Justin was only mentioning it because a particular deficiency in the >> *documentation* that came up in this thread was fixed in 3.2.0 >> (currently in devel). >> > > OK.

Mind you that Return-Path isn't created at the time a message is sent, it's created later.
