Any kind of challenge-response "spam control" system is simply foisting your spam problems into the in boxes of other people and asking them to do the filtering for you. Based on that, my own behavior is to immediately approve anything that I know for sure I did not send, and refuse to approve anything I know I did if it would be at all beneficial to the recipient (ie: advice, tuning tips, etc). After all, what reason do they have to believe I'm willing to make accurate judgments for them? They've gone so far as to generate an unwanted message into my mailbox regarding their spam, so I might as well make sure they get that spam message they went to all the trouble to bother me over. I encourage *ALL* users of the Internet to do the same. Hopefully we'll eventually be rid of the jerks who think that they can control their spam problems by spamming everyone else on the internet and making everyone else be their human-operated spam filter. > If so, I am hoping some of you can give me the correct lines for the > addresses I want to whitelist by using wildcard expressions. > > 1) all email ending in .edu to be whitelisted > 2) all email ending in .bellsouth.net > > > So are these the correct entries? > > from [EMAIL PROTECTED] > from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well whitelist_from, not from. That said, this is an extraordinarily bad idea because from addresses are easily forged, and commonly so. You *WILL* get a lot of spam skipping past your filters if you do this. > > Assume I'm using the latest version of spam assassain, but with my > question it shouldnt matter much.
