Whitelists and Fuzzy

[Jeramy Eling]

I've just checked and it would appear to be my inability to read the screen ;) It seems that the test email with image attached is whitelisted, however it's been blocked as it's a BMP and MailScanner stops those to prevent possible buffer overflows. DOH!!!

Sorry for going round and round on this one.

Thanks all for your help

Cheers

Jez

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?
