[SAtalk] order of preferences in white / black listing

[Tristan Nixon]

Hello all,

I have a question regarding the way in which SA deals
with whitelisting  blacklisting.  If I want to whitelist
all but a few select entries from a domain, how would I do it.
Should the following work?

whitelist_from [EMAIL PROTECTED]
unwhitelist_from [EMAIL PROTECTED]
unwhitelist_from [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I can't seem to find a way to do this.  Here is my predicament, 
I have been getting a whole pile of viagara spams a day, all of which
have my email address as both the To: and From: address.  I have
whitelisted my own domain, but would love to be able to unwhitelist my
own email address ( I don't have much call for sending messages to
myself ).  Anyone know how to do this?

Another thought - it would be really great if you could write a rule
which removed /added an email to the white / blacklist just temporarily
while evaluating that mail.  So, for example, you could check if the To:
and From address is the same, and then remove that particular address
from the whitelist just for that particular email.

I think that should work but never tried it

Silly question, why are you whitelisting your own domain?
Is it to make sure that locally generated mail doesn't get filtered?
In that case you probably should be able to make 'whitelist_from_rcvd'
do the job, which is much harder for remote spammers to abuse.

Another option would be to set up a MSA for locally generated mail
and have it totally avoid SA processing.
