Why me? Other people know and contribute much more and valuable stuff.

Actually, Openldap.org has a FAQ system known as Faq-o-Matic, to which 
posters themselves can easily contribute in real time. It works well 
and is a Sourceforge project:

/etc/mail/spamassassin/whitelist_from.cf
What is teh format of this file... one entry per line???
It's exactly the same as you'd stuff into your user_prefs or local.cf 
file. In fact, it's simply an extension of both the latter. The only 
point of having it at all, is to separate things, subdivisions, that 
would normally come in a single global local.cf - e.g. to make each 
separate file easier to read. Many utilities (e.g. Postfix, Privoxy, 
Openldap 2.1.x) have this possibility.

Best,

Tony

A known syndrome. It never pays to think about the same thing too long, 
though. Start thinking about something completely different and come 
back the next day. That way, most computer stuff, at least, sorts itself 
out. Especially complex things. Quite surprising, really

Best,

Tony

/etc/mail/spamassassin/whitelist_from.cf

In as much as any .cf file in that directory will be read in whenever 
whatever it is (spamd, amavisd-new etc) starts up. Given read rights, etc.
