You do *not* need allow_user_rules, to enable per-user whitelist_* or
blacklist_* settings.
See the docs [1], and pay special attention to the first sentence in the
User Preferences section. Also note that Whitelist and Blacklist Options
is a sub-section of this. :)
Already read this:
full/3.3.x/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Conf.html#user_preferences
On a related note, the plain whitelist_from without a rcvd or auth
constraint is dangerous to use. If possible, always use the constraint
ones, and the plain one strictly as a fall-back if there is no other
possibility -- and you really need the whitelist. In almost all cases,
you don't, and the real problem (if any) goes by unnoticed.
Right. I wanted to get the "simple stuff" working first; then the
more complicated configurations.
This is what my various config files look like:
$ tail -n1 /etc/spamassassin/local.cf
allow_user_rules 1
$ cat ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs
header L_TO_ME ToCc =~ /ron\.l\.johns...@cox\.net/
describe L_TO_ME Email addressed to me
score L_TO_ME 0.010
For this, you need allow_user_rules 1.
whitelist_from nytdir...@nytimes.com
For this, you don't.
OK.
However, you did *not* show any evidence, headers, or whatever, that the
L_TO_ME user rule does not work...
In Thunderbird View->"Message Source", I searched for L_TO_ME.
Am I fundamentally *wrong* about something here?
How is SA called?
(Lines manually "continued" for easy reading.)
# grep spam /etc/postfix/master.cf
smtp inet n - n - - \
smtpd -o content_filter=spamfilter:
spamfilter unix - n n - - pipe flags=Rq user=spamfilter \
argv=/usr/local/bin/spamfilter.sh \
-f ${sender} -- ${recipient}
Are you using per-user configuration?
I think so. But that "user=spamfilter" makes me now think
otherwise. I set this up years ago, and only now care about
whitelisting.
