Thank you. If enough people receive spam sanctioned by a particular whitelist, will the minus scores associated with their rule(s) be reduced over time?

maybe, but why not just override the score in local.cf

/etc/mail/spamassassin/local-*.cf
score RCVD_IN_IADB_DK -0.3
score RCVD_IN_IADB_DOPTIN -1.0
score RCVD_IN_IADB_DOPTIN_GT50 -0.5
score RCVD_IN_IADB_DOPTIN_LT50 -0.1
score RCVD_IN_IADB_LISTED -0.001
score RCVD_IN_IADB_ML_DOPTIN -2.5
score RCVD_IN_IADB_OPTIN -0.05
score RCVD_IN_IADB_OPTIN_GT50 -0.2
score RCVD_IN_IADB_OPTIN_LT50 -0.1
score RCVD_IN_IADB_RDNS -0.05
score RCVD_IN_IADB_SENDERID -0.5
score RCVD_IN_IADB_SPF -0.1
score RCVD_IN_IADB_VOUCHED -2.0

I know I can override the scores for all sorts of things in local.cf. The reason I was raising the question is because I was wondering if whitelists can be used by unscrupulous marketing organisations to effectively undo what is one of the main functions of SA - to reduce or stop unsolicited email.


Also, any idea why are there 6 different rules associated with this particular whitelist?

these are 6 different lists, just read the description you even posted on the right side of the score

Well, they might be technically 6 different lists, but IADB is one single entity, and including 6 different whitelists from them only looks like a way to reduce the SA score for email from their "certified" senders further. After all SA already checks separately for things like RDNS, DKIM, SPF.

    What is the process of including whitelists in SA default configs? It is
    not the first time I see pretty obvious mailing list spam which has

    For the same message, Pyzor has a high score - which is correct:

    2.5 RAZOR2_CF_RANGE_51_100 Razor2 gives confidence level above 50%
                                   [cf: 100]
    2.5 RAZOR2_CHECK           Listed in Razor2 (http://razor.sf.net/)
