Much easier to remove the duplicates with a 'sort -u' once you've finished
appending.

If you have a linux server, you could use something, and this is off the
top of my head, like this:

#!/bin/sh
cnt=0
WLFL=/var/www/html/whitelist.src
TARGET=/etc/mail/spamassassin/whitelist.cf
CHK=`cat $WLFL|wc -l`
if [ "$CHK" -gt '1' ] ; then
  until [ "$cnt" -ge "$CHK" ] ; do
cnt=$(($cnt+1))
LN=`cat $WLFL|head -n$cnt|tail -n1`
LN=`echo $LN|tr 'A-Z' 'a-z'`
if [ "$LN" = '' ] ; then
  :
else
  NCHK=`cat $TARGET|grep $LN`
  NCHK=`echo $NCHK|tr 'A-Z' 'a-z'`
  if [ "$NCHK" = '' ] ; then
:
  else
echo $LN >> $TARGET
  fi
fi
  done
fi

To Better-Scripters-Than-Me: would this work? I know there's probably a
better way, but if it works as written, it would avoid creating duplicate
email addresses.

RE: whitelist file

2005-12-19 Thread Jean-Paul Natola
That was my thought,  as  all my users are windows users---

I guess the question would be phrased as,  "can someone guide me , or point
me in the direction  of building a script/utility that would  grab the file
from a network location , then copy the entries into said cf file".

A file called for instance "whilelist.cf" is a text file.  You could have
one of those that users could edit in the SA site rules directory, but it
would generally be a bad idea.

If users have shell accounts, they could I believe put whitelist entries in
user_prefs in their .spamassassin directories, even without allow_user_rules
set.

You could write some sort of tool or web app that would periodically harvest
user whitelist entries from defined locations and add them to a whitelist.cf
file in the normal location for site rules.

Hi all,

I was wondering how I can go about having SA  reference a file for
whitelisitng.

In other words , instead of manually editing the cf file,  can I have a text
file on the network that  users can go to , enter the address and domain
they
are whitelisitng and have SA reference that ?

Does that seem like a feasible solution?
