Whitelists and Fuzzy

[Gareth]

Yes spamassassin is still run against the rules so at least you can see
what the score is. However if it is whitelisted then it is never classed
as spam by mailscanner. On my mailscanner any whitelisted messages just
shows 'whitelisted' where the spamassassin rules are normally listed so
although I can see what the score was I cannot tell which specific rules
were matched.

Is that what you get?

A message that is detected by the MS whitelist will be green, marked as W/L and will not have any SA hits shown. As you see SA hits that means it is not on the MS whitelist, probably because it contains the wrong values for matching (see above). What value does Mailwatch show under Lists in Mailwatch when you whitelist that problem message? And is this a value that could match your problem messages?
