The primary reason being that whitelists are often misconfigured the first time around (ie: whitelist_from [EMAIL PROTECTED]). If the whitelists counted towards autolearning, people making whitelisting mistakes would have a lot of cleanup work to do fixing the bayes DB as well.
As far as the autolearner is concerned, this message scored 0.001. (BAYES_50 doesn't count either, to avoid bayes self-feeding.). > > > > X-Spam-Status: No, score=-100.0 required=7.5tests=BAYES_50=0.001, > > HTML_MESSAGE=0.001,USER_IN_WHITELIST=-100 autolearn=no > version=3.1.7 > > > > I have a fair number of people in my whitelist and I would like to > feed that ham to the Bayes database: is there any option which will > allow their messages to be auto-learned too, or do I have to do it > manually? > They will be autolearned, but only on their own merits. The whitelisting won't force autolearning as nonspam. You might want to read the autolearner documentation to see how the autolearner calculates score. It changes a few things and the score it uses can be quite different than the final message score. http://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.1.x/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Plugin_AutoLearnThreshold.html In this case, all the whitelist rules have the tflag "userconf". > > > Thanks, > > > > -- A. >
