Personally, I'm fond of whitelisting most of the mailing lists I'm on by telling the glue layer to not pass the message to SA in the first place. I call SA from procmail on message delivery, so a procmail recipe like so: :0 * ^List-Id: <users.spamassassin.apache.org> $DEFAULT/.spam-stomping/ placed ahead of the segment that passes the message to SA, files all messages with the appropriate List-Id header in the folder I put several spam-related lists in without passing them to SA at all. For my purposes I haven't decided if one side effect is really good or bad; personal CCs or direct replies go to my Inbox instead of the designated list folder. -kgd
