Whitelists Still Not Working?

[Kevin Miller]

On the MTA it's a milter - I use sendmail.  Since Postfix does milters
now too, I expect there's a way to add it in there also.  I'm running
smfspf but there are other versions available as well.  See
http://www.openspf.org/

I believe it's tied into spamassassin, so you'd turn it on/off in there.
I think you'd just set the scores to 0 in the spam.assassin.prefs.conf.
I found the ruleset in /var/lib/spamassassin/3.002004/25_spf.cf but
don't edit it there as it will be lost after an update.

If you're not publishing spf records in your dns, think about adding
them.

HTH...
