I'm new to using spamassassin and have a question about auto white-listing. I have a file, auto-whitelist.db in my /var/spool/spamassassin directory however its empty. The file was created 6 days ago when I installed spamassassin. Should something be in this file?
The awl database normally goes in your home directory and /var/spool/spamassassin doesn't even exist on most installs..
I'm not sure what the autowhitelist.db file in /var/spool/spamassassin is doing. Do you have a user who has that as a home directory or something, or have you over-ridden the user prefs directory?
I've also created a small manual auto-whitelist.cf file and placed it in my /etc/mail/spamassassin dir with the rest of my .cf files.
Ok, although it's a contradiction in terms to call a manual whitelist "auto", there's nothing illegal about that.
SA doesn't give me any complaints about this but I see no where that its being checked, for instance I have the following line:
WHITELIST_FROM [EMAIL PROTECTED]
whitelist_from is not spelled with capital letters. I'm not sure if SA will honor it in caps like that.
Might I suggest using the spamassassin --lint command to check for syntax errors.
I have my spam threashold set to 8.0, and the latest mail from this address was given a 7.4. I'd think that since I have it in a manual whitelist that it would automatically be given a clean bill of health.
The manual whitelist should give a -100 score adjustment, by matching the rule named USER_IN_WHITELIST.
