Hi all,<br><br>I am suffering a little bit of confusion regarding whitelisting, and I am hoping that someone can help me out. I'm sure its very simple.<br><br>I am trying to make sure that certain emails are NOT spam-checked (
i.e. whitelisted). It is my understanding that I can use the "Scan Messages" directive for this. OK, so the email address I want to be whitelisted is: <tt><a href="http://gort.flamingangelfilms.com/sqmail/src/compose.php?send_to=jeffgund%40infolist.com">
jeffgund@infolist.com</a>.<br><br></tt>So the appropriate parts of my MailScanner.conf are:<br><br>Scan Messages = %rules-dir%/scan.messages.rules<br>Is Definitely Not Spam = %rules-dir%/spam.whitelist.rules<br>Is Definitely Spam = %rules-dir%/spam.blacklist.rules
<br><br>And in my /etc/MailScanner/rules/scan.messages.rules, I have the following (which I understand tells MailScanner NOT to scan messages from this address, but then scan all others):<br><br>From: <a href="mailto:jeffgund@infolist.com">
jeffgund@infolist.com</a> no<br>ToOrFrom: default yes<br><br>Contents of /etc/MailScanner/rules/spam.whitelist.rules:<br>FromOrTo: default no<br><br>Contents of /etc/MailScanner/rules/spam.blacklist.rules:<br>
(empty)<br><br>I have restarted MailScanner, but the emails from this user are still being marked as SPAM! From the headers I can see:<br><br><tt><b>X-MailScanner-SpamCheck:</b> spam, SpamAssassin (not cached, score=6.58,
<br>
required 4.8, BAYES_40 2.00, HTML_40_50 0.50, HTML_MESSAGE 0.00,<br>
HTML_MIME_NO_HTML_TAG 1.08, MIME_HTML_ONLY 0.00,<br>
UNPARSEABLE_RELAY 3.00)</tt><br><br>I am very confused as to why this is not being whitelisted. I initially had a similar entry in /etc/MailScanner/rules/spam.whitelist.rules but that did not seem to work either. <br>
<br>What am I doing wrong? <br><br>For simple whitelisting, i.e. please never check emails from <a href="mailto:foo@foo.com">foo@foo.com</a> or *@*.foo.com, what is the correct procedure? spam.whitelist.rules or scan.messages.rules
? <br><br>Thank you all in advance!<br><br>-Rick.<br><br>
