Yes whitelisting...I know how to do it. I searched the archives before I
came here.
Here is my question.
Since I do not want to scan outgoing mail for spam, I made the following
changes:
Spam Checks = /usr/local/etc/MailScanner/rules/spam.rules
spam.rules contains:
From: 192.168.1.165 no
FromOrTo: default yes
192.168.1.165 -- is my internal mail server that sends out through Mail Server.
So that stops all mail coming from 192.168.1.165 from being scanned for spam.
Now, if I want to start whitelisting some domains and email addresses, I
was going to edit:
spam.whitelist.rules
My main question is I only need to specify From: and
not FromOrTo: correct?
From: obviously is any incoming mail into the server from the outside.
To: Would be any email being sent to a certain address or domain
Now, since i've already whitelisted my internal mail server, From: is all I
would need, correct?
If I used FromOrTo: that would be overkill?
Just thought i'd clarify here.
Cheers,
Jas
