Maybe you don’t really want to whitelist…

 

What we do here is use a FROMFILE, and assign a large negative point value to all domains or individuals on that list. We still suffer with forged return addresses, but that’s fairly minimal.

 

It tends to work a little bit better then whitelists, IMO. This lets you pass the mail, but it still run the tests you have defined in declude to filter out the really horrendous stuff, or at least explain WHY stuff did or didn’t get through.

Thanks John, but Authentication is not an option right now and I will suffer the few forged addresses that come through.

 

I did not realise that there was a limit to the amount of domains I can put in the whitelist and its worked until now whilst testing it with a  few domains but with a long list of 500 domains it does not work properly, when really it should.

 

Without posting really really confidential information here, I need to be able whitelist, the same way that I can blacklist.

 

I have one guy at domainA.com trying to send to another guy at domainB.com and both domains are on the same server.

domainB.com is not getting the emails becasue domainA.com's ip address where they are located is blacklisted quite badly and the email when sent through our server is given a score of 48, which means any email that domainA.com sends to domainB.com gets put in the spam hold queue.

Right now I need to be able to use the whitelisting functionality of declude.

1. Sorry, your email was not considered confidential and has been included in a public archive for all to see.

 

2. As I said before, please stop using the silly white listing of a domain. Haven’t you heard of forged addresses?

 

3. Please review your configuration and correct the problem causing your clients outbound email to be scanned. What you are doing is a workaround, not fixing the actual problem. You will have to bite the bullet and start forcing your users to authenticate and in doing so can easily whitelist based upon the fact that they authenticated.

Hi David,

It kind of works.

In C:\IMAIL\Declude\$default$.junkmail I have placed the following line:

WHITELISTFILE            C:\IMAIL\Declude\Filters\whitelist.txt

The file at C:\IMAIL\Declude\Filters\whitelist.txt contains a list of email
addresses in the following format:

@123-reg.co.uk
@tapiz.com.ar
@redhothomes.co.uk
@cloudninemurcia.com
@cloudninemarbella.com

(there is about 500 domains I am whitelisting at the moment)

I am sitting here watching the log file (btw, I am using a programme called
"BareTail" which absolutely rocks when you want to look at live log files
http://www.baremetalsoft.com) and it seems that its whitelisting "some"
domains listed in the whitelist.txt file but still passes many of the
domains in the whitelist file through the declude spam filter.

This results in many of my clients emails being held in the spam folder.

Any ideas?

Kindest Regards

Yes, in the global.cfg there is a limit. If you need to have unlimited
whitelist entries, or if you need per-user or per-domain whitelisting, you
may find the WHITELISTFILE option helpful.

To use this option, you need to add a line in the format "WHITELISTFILE
D:\{MAILSERVER}\Declude\mywhitelist.txt" to the appropriate configuration
file (\{MAILSERVER}\Declude\$default$.JunkMail, or the per-user/per-domain
configuration file you wish to use the whitelists with). The
D:\{MAILSERVER}\Declude\mywhitelist.txt file would then contain either one
E-mail address ("[EMAIL PROTECTED]") or domain ("@example.com") or subdomain
(".example.com") per line. The whitelist files can have unlimited entries in
them.

Note that the file you use with the WHITELISTFILE option does NOT use the
same format as the WHITELIST entries in the global.cfg file. Also, note that
the WHITELISTFILE option does not work in the global.cfg file.

just found this in my declude log.

07/27/2006 15:28:25.221 qbf78048c0118c40b.smd WARNING: Max whitelists hit.
Some whitelists will not be processed!

Is there a limit to the amount of domains you can put in the whitelist?
