Was this changed recently? Cause it most definately did not work for me when I did a user preference to add a whitelist entry for a known spam source. It got to the spam threshold very quickly and then terminated checking. The moment I removed -S, the hits score jumped about 10+ without the whitelist entry, and when the whitelist entry was added, it went down to -85 or so. I don't remember if I tried it as a systemwide pref or not. I wasn't using AWL, this was just a straight whitelist_from entry. > I think Craig's latest update to change all the rules to unique subs > (which was for running profiling on spamassassin) might actually turn > out to work really well for this sort of thing, as we could completely > run the rules in the right order. > > The only problem is things like AWL that don't have a static score. > Those sort of things should probably be run first, but don't seem to be. > And I can't remember why they aren't right now. -- Nathan ------------------------------------------------------------ Nathan Neulinger EMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] University of Missouri - Rolla Phone: (573) 341-4841 Computing Services Fax: (573) 341-4216 _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes?
