Whitelisting for (avoiding) virus scans is hard to defend, but one doesn't have to whitelist for virus scan to whitelist for spam scans. For instance, with trusted users it is reasonable to whitelist (bypass) SpamAssassin for all authenticated users but still virus scan those messages. > even spamassassin has a whitelisting capability, and i use here. > however the filter must be used by every single user, since > there are many occasions where a source is considered spam by > all but a few users. Sure, but using the new *list_from_rcvd (SA 3.10) can be very effective to white/black list and avoid forgeries by using not only the name but the received from server. -- Herb Martin -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
