(That's something I've been mildly curious about in the past - how
the heck does the uploaded masscheck _deal_ with setting
trusted_networks etc. for multiple disjoint corpora?)
Maybe it doesn't, and that's enough reason to not use the corpora upload
option, and instead run mass-check yourself with trusted_networks defined
in spamassassin/user_prefs?
If so, that wouldn't apply to just me. The entire "upload a corpus for
central scanning" wouldn't be a valid model at all. That it is being done
suggests otherwise and I just don't understand how that part of it works.
Should mailing list servers all be listed as trusted_networks?
As "trusted" means "does not forge headers", I'd say yes.
Or should spam from a mailing list be counted against the list server in
DNSWL?
Sure, it's spam. Do you want to whitelist a listserv that's relaying spam?
Well, we whitelist servers which have been set up to forward all mail,
which are forwarding spam. And I'm not sure if that's different enough
from a mailing list, which we've effectively asked to send us everything
posted to the mailing list.
Good point. However, I'd argue that the listserv should be behind a spam
filter, which wouldn't apply to a blind forwarding MTA.
And I think we should do one or the other, not both. Either include all
mailing list servers in trusted_networks *or* count spam from a mailing
list against the mailing list server.
