Whitelisting problems

These entries
 
>> @srs.bis6.us.blackberry.com     default
>> *@*.*.us.blackberry.com           default
>> 74.82.85.                                 default

were cut and pasted from the mailwatch whitelist.  Something went wrong
when I pasted the info from the spam.whitelist.rules.  It should have
been this.  Sorry for the confusion.
 
# If you are basing a blacklist on this then you can refer to
# a null (empty) sender address with "/^$/" as the address to match.
#
# This is where you can build a Spam WhiteList
# Addresses matching in here, with the value
# "yes" will never be marked as spam.
#From:          152.78.         yes
#From:          130.246.        yes
#From:          host:soton.ac.uk yes # Note this is slower than using
the IP
From:           74.82.85.       yes
FromOrTo:       default         no

After testing, I realized that I use either the SQL whitelist or the
file based rules.
 
#Is Definitely Not Spam = %rules-dir%/spam.whitelist.rules
Is Definitely Not Spam = &SQLWhitelist
I finally figured out the entry to whitelist in the
spam.whitelist.rules works but the entry to whitelist in the SQL
whitelist doesn't.  So maybe there is something wrong with the SQL
table.  Not sure, need to test some more.

Plus you have the syntax wrong.

From:   .blackberry.com yes

... in /etc/MailScanner/rules/spam.whitelist.rules should work.

I don't know why you think "from something default" makes any sense,
"from something yes" as an answer to the question "is this
whitelisted" makes more sense, since the default is "no".
