Travis,

 

I found that the best way to white list domain names is by sticking to the SMTP connection <mail from> entry. Don’t trust headers since they can be easily forged.  As for the groups, I’m pretty sure you’ll have to add them as they come in ‘cause the white list doesn’t operate like the URL domain black list which would match yyy.yahoo.com and xxx.yahoo.com when yahoo.com is specified.

 

Also I’m not sure if white list accepts wildcards.

Subject: [IMail Forum] What to whitelist from a Header

 

When I look at the headers of an email and I see three different lines that say “Received From”, which one do I whitelist?  I am thinking it is the one nearest the top of the header.  Also, do I have to put in the entire server name or can I just put I part of it?  For example, if I wanted to whitelist Yahoo Groups to come on in, then I see where I might have to put in “n32.grp.scd.yahoo.com” to make this happen for a particular e-mail that got caught in the anti-spam filters.  But yesterday and the day before that it came from a different server, but both belonged to “ *.grp.scd.yahoo.com”.  Can I just whitelist “grp.scd.yahoo.com” or do I have to manually wait and add a new server when it comes along?

 

Thanks,

 

Travis
