Whitelisted

[Damian Mendoza]

Matt,

If you find the resolution, please let me know. It's been killing me at one of my accounts - the CEO hates getting SPAM and he is the one that keeps getting the "whitelisted" SPAM.

Regards,

Damian

The "not spam (whitelisted)" is a MailScanner whitelisting, not a
SpamAssassin whitelisting. Check your mailscanner config.

SA will indicate whitelists by rules that modify the score, and not any
other way.
