You will probably need to add<br>

as well.<br><br>

<font size=1> Subject: Proper way to black list and whitelist</font> <br><br>
<br>
<font size=2>I have read how to black list in SA, MS and Sendmail. What is the best way to BL and WL domains? Like </font><a href="mailto:*@*.baddomain.com"><font size=2 color="#0000FF"><u>*@*.baddomain.com</a></u></font><font size=2> and </font><a href="mailto:*@baddomain.com"><font size=2 color="#0000FF"><u>*@baddomain.com</a></u></font> <br>
<font size=2> </font> <br>
<font size=2> </font> <br>
<font size=2> </font> <br>
<font size=2>Edit the spam.assassin.prefs.conf and put a bunch of whitelist_from and blacklist_from entries. Or create a white list and black list files and point MailScanner.conf to them. </font> <br>
<font size=2> </font> <br>
<font size=2>IE </font><br>
<font size=2>Is Definitely Not Spam = /etc/MailScanner/rules/spam.whitelist.rules </font><br>
<font size=2>Is Definitely Spam = /etc/MailScanner/rules/spam.blacklist.rules</font> <br>
