whitelist_from r...@myphonydomain.com
Don't use the un-constrained whitelist_from, unless as a last resort, if
there's no other way and you cannot use the proper constrained ones,
like whitelist_from_rcvd.
A local root sender should be getting ALL_TRUSTED. whitelist_from_rcvd
won't work on local email - you need at least one external hop to get the
'rcvd' part. You could write SpamAssassin rules to look for the messages,
but you probably don't want to AUTOLEARN the messages since any tokens in
the email are probably spam hosts. As pointed out earlier, this type of
email should bypass SpamAssassin in procmail (etc).
Anyway, no sample -- no way to point out your issue. Do paste at least
the headers of such a mail.
Yep.
