How do I whitelist based on a header field? I belong to a couple of mailing lists and some messages are getting flagged as ***SPAM***. Can I whitelist messages based on any of these headers:

X-eGroups-Approved-By: azipaegroups <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> via web; 02 Apr 2007 22:53:49 -0000

Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Mailing-List: list [EMAIL PROTECTED]; contact

List-Id: <azipa.yahoogroups.com>


I've tried editing local.cf (seems to be wrong) and /usr/share/spamassassin/60_whitelist.cf. I might be in the right place on the latter, but need a gentle shove in the right direction.

You were in the right spot. You don't want to edit the files in /usr/shares/spamassassin as they'll be deleted whenever an upgrade comes around. You want to put the entries in your /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf file. Just make sure you lint it and restart the daemon when finished:
spamassassin -D --lint
And for restarting the daemon you can download a script from my site (v2gnu.com) called qmail-spam or install QT-Plus (qtp.qmailtoaster.com) as it's included in there. You can also do it manually: svc -d /var/qmail/supervise/spamd /var/qmail/supervise/spamd/log svc -t /var/qmail/supervise/spamd /var/qmail/supervise/spamd/log svc -u /var/qmail/supervise/spamd /var/qmail/supervise/spamd/log


And you would whitelist yahoogroups.com
I know there's been a running thread on the best way to whitelist Yahoo groups on the spamassassin mailing list. Might want to peek at their archives.
