No changes since this has been asked the last time. (nod) Alright. So far this is still a less than once a week phenomenon, for me personally. I just raise it occasionally to put a data point into the archives. If my inquiry had shaken lose a bunch of 'me too' comments, it might have led somewhere. But it hasn't, so the issue remains on the far back burner :) There are just a very few rules scanning non-textual parts of a mail. Large-ish binary attachments don't have much of an impact on performance. Large-ish textual attachments potentially do. Now THAT is a curious comment. All the usage guidelines I have ever read implied or outright stated that scanning mails over a certain size was a significant degradation to system performance. Am I confusing the guidelines for antivirus programs with those for SA? Would it be 'safe' to run SA on messages with larger attachments? Anyone ever tested this? - C

I have a well-known email address which is a common spam target, and I want to set it up so that only addresses on my whitelist are allowed, everything else is automatically blacklisted. How do I set this up? Other advice on whitelisting aside, if your statement implies that you are starting to use spamassassin on mail that was previously unfiltered you might want to see how much spam actually still arrives in that mailbox once SA is doing it's job. I found that even some of my hardest hit mailboxes suddenly dropped down to a managable 3-4 spams delivered per day when I got SA working on them. - C
