If you are not using Exim's whitelist, then where do you define the whitelist that you referred to? I was referring to any whitelist defined in SA. This could be in local.cf or one of the user_prefs files. SA evaluates all the rules (including whitelists) before it returns a score. So if you use any of SA's whitelist_from_* rules, it will result in a lowered score and a non-spam status for users that match the whitelist. -- Bowie
