Title: Re: [IMail Forum]  Imail 8.0 ignoring whitelist

Isn’t the mail coming from maillists.townhall.com ? I think in the whitelist entry that an entry of townhall.com would not also whitelist maillists.townhall.com. I think anyways...

Subject: [IMail Forum]  Imail 8.0 ignoring whitelist

We have Imail 8.0 running and have a few domain names listed in the whitelist. Yet emails coming from them are rejected and Imail thinks they are spam. The spam logs apparently are looking at the whitelists:
 
Here is the info from the Spam-Log. As you can see it is from townhall.com
and the log shows that it is checking the White list. townhall.com is the
very first domain name in the white list..

06:07 04:00 SMTP(0DA80007) probability email is spam 1.000000: email is spam
 
Why would it check the whitelist and then still proceed to reject it as spam? I would assume that any domain listed in the whitelist would be over looked entirely by the spam checking.
 
Any ideas?
