Trusting IP ranges works in some cases, but some of the addresses which need to be trusted are yahoo addresses, aol, etc - I don't want to trust the entire IP range of the service, just the specific address. The only solution I've come up with so far is to manually add these addresses to the processing rule which moves the mail to the spambox. Example:
H~X-IMAIL-SPAM!AND!F!~([EMAIL PROTECTED]|[EMAIL PROTECTED]|domain3.com):[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Now the main limitation is that the rule can't exceed 255 characters. Hopefully, it won't need to. I still wish there was a way to determine "whitelisting" from within processing rules.

Whitelisting in IMail's Anti-Spam just bypasses the content filtering not the connection filtering which the blacklisting is part of. TO bypass all of these you need to use the trusted IP sectionEric S----- Original Message -----From: Jeffery RehmSent: Sunday, November 30, 2003 7:46 PMSubject: Re: [IMail Forum] Whitelisting BlacklistsI'm having the exact same problem.----- Original Message -----From: Curt TurnerTo: Imail ListSent: Monday, November 17, 2003 21:46Subject: [IMail Forum] Whitelisting BlacklistsI'm using external DNS blacklists to filter out spam, but I don't want the messages deleted, just redirected to a bulkbox. I have it set up to just add an x-header, then added a rule to move messages with headers containing "X-IMAIL-SPAM" to root-bulk.The problem is that this procedure bypasses the whitelist completely - even if the sender is whitelisted, the mail still has the spam x-header and is dumped in bulk. Is there a way to have the whitelist add its own x-header for use in processing rules?If not, is there any way to have the whitelist override DNSBLs and at the same time not completely delete spammed messages?
