How can I force to verify the white list and keep the " if on spam list" option off?

[Magda Hewryk]

Hi Julian,

"Spam Checks" is turn on.  It's a first option I've modified when running
MS.
Spam Checks = /etc/MailScanner/rules/deliver.clean.rules  #mnh T125   TAGS
THE SUBJECT LINE

I hope I can tune "Is Definitely Not Spam" to work for me.
Is Definitely Not Spam = /etc/MailScanner/rules/spam.whitelist.rules

What is the syntax?  For some reason spamhause (sbl+xbl) marks ibm as spam
....

Is the following syntax correct?

From:         whitelist_from  *@isource.ibm.com yes
From:             whitelist_from  *.isource.ibm.com   yes
FromOrTo:       default         no

Thanks,

Magda Hewryk

You can't use the SpamAssassin whitelist without using SpamAssassin.
But if your whitelist is implemented as a MailScanner ruleset, just
apply it to "Spam Checks".
If you need to know more about rulesets, please consult the Book, the
MAQ or the FAQ.
I would of course prefer you to consult the Book :-)
