We've been using senderbase to simulate whitelisting of most banking
email messages.  BUT, now we're seeing legitimate emails coming from
banks like Captial One coming from providers like Bigfoot Interactive.
 These are good mails.  Why Capital One is using a bulk mailing
company to send them, I can't say.

What I'm wondering is the possiblity of having it coded so that we
could have pairings of mail-from or from in header and senderbase.

So don't white senderbase anything from Bigfoot Interactive
automatically, but if senderbase says it's bigfoot interactive and the
from name is [email protected] then let it through.  I'd
like to be able to list specific addresses or better yet a regex for
the address.

In this specific example, the mail-from is something unique like:
909715e88layf1vciao7va7yaaaaabtb0msdqdqgokayaa...@email.capitalone.com

The from in the header is:
[email protected]

And the from ip is
206.132.3.145

Whitelisting [email protected] would be bad since that's
the from address that phishers are using.

I'm thinking of letting senderbase do it's thing as usual.  If that
doesn't pass our tests, return the information on what was found and
then compare that to a separate list within assp of senders and
senderbase results.

That way, once we see that a given service is sending out through
another provider, we can still allow it without having to allow
everything from that provider.  Constant Contact is another mailer
that we certainly wouldn't want to senderbase white, but we might want
to if it's from a sepecific sender.   I hope I'm being clear.  I can
expand if necessary.

If using senderbase combined with the from address isn't a realistic
possibility, how about combining sender address and sender IP.  This
would require more work on the admin side, figuring out in this case
valid entries for bigfoot, but it would be better than nothing.

Thanks so much.
