I am trying to figure out whitelisting from mailscanner (rather than
spamassassin)


[root at mail1 rules]# cat spam.whitelist.rules
# This is where you can build a Spam WhiteList
# Addresses matching in here, with the value
# "yes" will never be marked as spam.
#From:          152.78.         yes
#From:          130.246.        yes
To:             MAILSCANNER at JISCMAIL.AC.UK      yes
FromOrTo:       default         no

in MailScanner.conf:

[root at mail1 MailScanner]# grep rules-dir MailScanner.conf
%rules-dir% = /etc/MailScanner/rules
Is Definitely Not Spam = %rules-dir%/spam.whitelist.rules


While I have not had mail from this list tagged as spam recently, I
cannot see that it is getting whitelisted either.

headers have:

X-Elevating-MailScanner: Found to be clean
X-Elevating-MailScanner-SpamCheck: not spam, SpamAssassin (score=1,
required 5, BAYES_01 -5.40, FORGED_RCVD_TRAIL 1.98, IN_REP_TO -0.37,
MSGID_GOOD_EXCHANGE -0.14, ORIGINAL_MESSAGE -0.50, RCVD_IN_DSBL 4.29,
RCVD_IN_RFCI 1.09)
X-Elevating-MailScanner-SpamScore: s

any tips appreciated.
