One would think that
a whitelist means just that� a list of addresses that pass through the filters
without being filtered�
Considering the time
and effort it took to get this Imail server going from the old server we had
when I started here a couple of months ago (Argosoft Mail server), and the
flurry of emails regarding upgrades to 8.10 causing major issues with the
queuemgr, I don�t plan on upgrading to 8.10 until they release a smaller point
release. The people who complain the loudest about email also happen to
own/run the company. I�m not going to even put myself through another round of
that� ;) That was the driving force to get Imail in the first
place.
I guess I�ll have to
deal with the whitelist issue until 8.10+ comes out.

Whitelisting not working
Check the order of
processing in 8.05... the "whitelist" feature did not work as one would expect
-- some checks were done before the whitelist was checked... This has been
changed in 8.1 to work more like one would expect a "whitelist" to work.
I dont remember the order off hand but it is in the archives and/or
documentation.

Whitelisting not working
I was wondering if anyone else
has an idea why my whitelisting isn�t working:
I�ve put the whitelist into the
root, I�ve put it into the folder for our domain, and still it is not
allowing whitelisted addresses/domains to slip through without being
filtered. Everything is listed as it should be in the spam control email
control panels in Imail, but they still are getting filtered improperly.
We received approx 550 emails
this weekend into the spam filter box, 26 false positives. All but one of
the false positives were whitelisted addresses/domains. I know it
isn�t much spam, and I could have lived with the single false positive but
for the fact that whitelisted emails are going through the spam filters. It
makes me wonder if the product�s working properly.
