If one person has <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED] in the address book it appears that an email sent to this person and many others will be whitelisted for all.
Correct.
We have a situation that a person receives a lot of news emails and has whitelisted his address. Now anything that is sent to this organization's info address (going to him and 3 others) is being whitelisted for everyone. Of course info address being one of the favorite addresses of spammers it is not helping the situation.
If nothing can be done - may be one idea is to rethink the way whitelist works.
What if <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED] simply means no action be taken so spam filters and tests are done but the action is not taken - then others without <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED] can have the action taken on their emails.
The problem with that is that if someone else has the DELETE action, the E-mail will be deleted, yet the one recipient wanted it whitelisted.
There is, however, a "bypasswhitelisting" test that you can set up to help with this situation. It can be defined with a line such as "EMERGENCYBYPASS bypasswhitelisting 60 3 0 0". The 60 refers to the weight the E-mail must reach, and the 3 refers to the minimum number of recipients. In this case, it would attempt to bypass the whitelisting for E-mail with 3 or more recipients and a weight of 60 or higher. This way, the more blatant spam will get blocked, even if it was whitelisted.
