Re: [Assp-user] Still confused!

The redlist is a mechanism, like the notation of the ASSP interface states, to prevent users who have auto-respond on from contributing to the whitelist (since anyone a local user sends an email to is added to the whitelist).  Redlisting shouldn't be used to keep list senders or legitimate spam senders from adding to the corups as it is not its  intended I would not consider or document the use of the Redlist in terms of auto-responders only, as it has many other practical applications.  Auto-responders and out-of-office responses should be part of a list of recommended uses. functionality.  Also, genusfreak proved that emais from redlisted senders will enter the corpus. Not necessarily proved to be true of a proper install/config. Since it is a bad idea to have the incoming stream of email adding to the notspam directory, ASSP should be configured to place incoming good mail into the mailok directory.  If ASSP is configured to put incoming not spam email into the mailok directory, list email or legitimate spam cannot pollute the corpus; thus, the logical reporting step to take is to whitelist list senders that a user won't respond to and to whitelist legitimate spam senders. Whitelisted mail and Bayesian OK (message ok) mail is not the same thing.  The default to not save [non-whitelisted] (message ok) is intentional. If a sender is whitelisted, by default, the sender will have emails that were incorrectly classified as spam removed from the spam directory, the logical reporting step to take is to whitelist list senders and legitimate spam senders. This is true, at the next running of the rebuildspamdb.pl script.  I don't understand what you mean by "the logical reporting step..."  Whitelisting legitimate spam senders can cause corpus pollution. Finally, how would a local user redlist himself or herself using the email interface? EmailRedlistAdd - The user can send an email to that address, with the users own email address in the body.
