This whole bug is about making AWL over-rides persistent. So is this > data variable, or persistent? Pick one. Are you trying to be clever? The list of mail addresses to be blacklisted/whitelisted is of course variable in that more addresses could be added to it at any time. Every address put in that list should stay there until the user removes it. > If you want the AWL mods to be short-lived, the existing mechanism works. > > If they need to be persistent, then a config-file mod (user_prefs, etc) > shouldn't be a problem. Do you really think that everyday users of a spamfilter want to edit their configuration file and restart the service for every address they encounter that they want to put in a blacklist or whitelist? I think this is completely silly. A config file holds data that makes this installation different from the one nextdoor. Things like a local domain name, filesystem paths, policies, etc. But not a list of addresses that is maintained daily. -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
