At wit's end - SA is *still* tagging list traffic!

2005-06-02 Thread Thomas Cameron 
All -

I have added these to my local.cf:

whitelist_from_rcvd [EMAIL PROTECTED]

But I am still seeing list traffic with spam samples being tagged.  Can
someone please tell me what on Earth I need to do to tell SA to ignore
anything on this list?  Procmail rules are not an option - I use SA on a
relay server which uses a milter.

Thanks
Thomas

Thomas,

I assume you are restarting spamassassin after you make your
changes. If not then that is what the problem is.

If so then it may be your milter. What is it using for your
configuration, what does spamassassin --lint show you.

1) That's not a valid line, rtm. :)
2) The mails come from spamassassin.apache.org, not apache.org.

You can try something like:

whitelist_from_rcvd [EMAIL PROTECTED] apache.org

Other possible issues include not having the envelope sender in the headers,
so SA can't figure out where the mail is actually from, but give the above a
shot first.

Thomas,

You can do one of two things:
whitelist_to users@spamassassin.apache.org

or

whitelist_from_rcvd [EMAIL PROTECTED] apache.org

I prefer the latter.  Notice the correct format as opposed to what you
used.  Make sure to restart SA after performing a --lint.

See the whitelist_from_rcvd section of:

http://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.0.x/dist/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Conf.html#whitelist_and_blacklist_options

for a description of how to properly use this whitelist feature.  I have my 
entry setup as follows:


whitelist_from_rcvd [EMAIL PROTECTED]  apache.org 
SpamAssassin List


See if that works for you...

HTH,

Bill

Not that I am arguing, but that's not what the man page says.  The
example for whitelist_from_rcvd there shows this:

whitelist_from_rcvd [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Why is your syntax better?

Again, not arguing, just want to understand.

Better yet teach your system to bypass SpamAssassin for all the
SpamAssassin lists. Sometimes a simple whitelist entry might not
be enough.

Actually, the man page says:

whitelist_from_rcvd [EMAIL PROTECTED]  sergeant.org


You need both the email address it's from and the server it is rcvd 
from.

I was whitelisting apache.org instead of spamassassin.apache.org.  I
assumed (bad, I know) that child domains would be covered by
whitelisting the parent domain.

Now my local.cf setting is:

whitelist_from_rcvd [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks to all who helped.

My last was a typo - the line in local.cf is

whitelist_from_rcvd [EMAIL PROTECTED] apache.org

That causes SA to score messages with -100.

Thanks all!

You still need the RDNS entry at this end of this line if you want it to 
work properly.

You still have it wrong.  That is the syntax for whitelist_from.
Whitelist_from_rcvd takes TWO arguments, not one.  That line as you have it
will be ignored.
