Re: Set for Whitelist Only?
Thanks to everyone who helped with this. A variant of Benny's suggestion works, and can be implemented through plesk without editing the config files directly: 1. Whitelist all acceptable sources. 2. Blacklist *...@*.* 3. Set the reject score to a moderate value, e.g. 10 My whitelisted sources will have a neutral score, or maybe slightly higher, but will go through. Anyone else will score at least 100 and be rejected. Bingo!

I'm using Plesk to set up the whitelist, so I haven't had to open the config files before.

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

Do you want those users whitelisted globally, or just for that specific address? If globally is fine, then just add the trusted users using whitelist_auth (or whitelist_from if you must, but that is likely to cause you pain down the road) and then create a local rule along the lines of (untested, off the top of my head): header AJ_NOT_TO_ABUSEDTo =~ /abusedaddre...@example\.com/ score AJ_NOT_TO_ABUSED80.0 Messages from whitelisted users will start with a score of -20; messages from other users will start with a score of 80. -- Dave Pooser Cat-Herder-in-Chief, Pooserville.com ...Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in one pretty and well-preserved piece, but to slide across the finish line broadside, thoroughly used up, worn out, leaking oil, and shouting GERONIMO!!! -- Bill McKenna

I want to accept email on that address from certain trusted users. I want to block everything except the whitelist. can I do this? You don't say what your MTA is, but in Postfix you can do this at MTA level with header_checks. It gives you the option of rejecting (REJECT), silently discarding (DISCARD) or excluding the message from further checks of this type (DUNNO). You can use Perl-type regular expressions for this. The regexes in a .pcre file are executed in the order they are listed, so something like /^From:.*goodg...@spamsource\.com/ DUNNO /^From:@spamsource\.com/REJECT should accept mail from good...@spamsource.com while rejecting all other mail from spamsource.com. DUNNO is a Postfixism that says 'pretend messages that match this regex weren't compared with this file's contents. Disclaimer: this has not been tested. It was merely written after looking at the Postfix manual. Martin

How do I set this up? This kind of thing can be very unforgiving. I'd do the whitelisting and then add a header rule to add around 5 points for the particular address. That way BAYES can save you if a sender changes address.
