Michael - thanks for the tip. I see what you mean.
However, it's like to try and tackle why/how I can't get soft whitelisting to work via Amavis. I've been reading up on using @score_sender_maps and tried to do as the site below suggested by editing 50-user http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg05258.h tml However, it doesn't seem to take when I run amavis debug. I can see my mail come in, yet it's still marked with a high enough spam score to be quarantined; the soft whitelist entry doesn't show up at all. I'm unsure if there is a syntax issue (or how to honestly check the amavis config files before reloading at all) Here's output from amavis debug when I send the message through and why I don't think the soft whitelist is working: May 11 08:39:00.196 ubuntu-spam.lcps.k12.va.us /usr/sbin/amavisd-new[25954]: (25954-01) query_keys: [email protected], [email protected], sisdb@, lcps.k12.va.us, .lcps.k12.va.us, .k12.va.us, .va.us, .us, .
