Hi.
I have rules like:
whitelist_from_rcvd [email protected] mirrors.kernel.org
...
blacklist_from *@yandex.ru
And only the last rule seems to be hit.
All rules are run UNLESS you use shortcircuit. Order in the file should
not matter.
How do I debug this?
spamassassin -t -D rules <testmessage will show you all the hits of a
message.
I'm trying to avoid spam from Yandex while getting mailing list mail
from legit contributors to Linux that use Yandex (god knows why).
I gather it's a Russian analog to Yahoo...
You can always supplement the generic wl/bl directives with a specific
rule based on specific headers, e.g.:
describe W_LINUX_CONT Welcome linux-contrib
header W_LINUX_CONT From =~ /[email protected]/
score W_LINUX_CONT -10
You can make that more complex if you like, or combine it in a metarule
with a subrule that matches mirrors.kernel.org in the last Received
header. RTFM for details.
