<!-- Converted from text/plain format -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2>you can add a line like this to your blacklist or whitelist ruleset<BR>
<BR>
From: blockemail@example.com and To: youremail@example.com yes<BR>
<BR>
The problem that i am running into with this as a whitelist rule (probably the same for blacklist) is<BR>
that if you just whitelist to youremail@example.com and the email was sent to or cced to youremail@example.com and<BR>
youremail2@example.com and youemail3@example.com and so on it will get whitelisted for all of them.<BR>
does anyone know a way around that?<BR>
<BR>
if your not sure what i am asking, here is another example<BR>
I have a user named foo and he wants to be exluded from the spam filter altogether because of too many false positives<BR>
so i add this line to my whitelist<BR>
<BR>
To: foo@foobar.com yes<BR>
<BR>
Problem with this is if a spam email was sent to foo, mike, harry, bob, jane, frank since foo is in the whitelist<BR>
all these people will receive this spam messege no matter the spamassassin score.<BR>
not sure if we have any other way around that problem<BR>
