Whitelists and Fuzzy

[Jeramy Eling]

Gareth,

Having not used the mentioned tools before do you know where I can find
documentation for them. I'm currently looking on the FuzzyOCR site and
there doesn't appear to be anything.

If you have a whitelist defined in mailwatch then it will be whitelisted
regardless of the spamassassin score unless you have not configured the
whitelist custom function correctly in mailscanner.

Fuzzyocr has oviously detected the picture in the past and has stored a
hash of it together with its score in its database to save future
processing. If this image got a high score due to misconfiguration of
the words file then you can use one of the tools that came with fuzzyocr
to remove that image from the database so next time it is found it will
recalculate the score.
