In any event, I shall assume that your problem is that some emails delivered to the mailbox of [EMAIL PROTECTED] have spam tags on them and you want this to never happen. I'm also going to assume that this user gets email that is both directly addressed to them, and some that are BCC'ed to them or delivered via a mailing list.
The SpamAssassin ALL_SPAM_TO mechanism only works if the given email address appears in the TO: or CC: lines of the email itself. It does not examine the delivery envelope. Thus BCC'ed emails, those delivered by mailing lists, or those with fake TO: lines will not have the negative score modifier applied.
So for example even if I were to put [EMAIL PROTECTED] in my ALL_SPAM_TO rules, this very message when it comes back to me via the mailing list will be filtered without the score benefit of ALL_SPAM_TO.
Someone may correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know, SpamAssassin does not have any access to the delivery envelope itself, thus does not know who the mail is really being delivered to, it only has access to what is stated in the mail headers. Any filtering based on the the envelope would have to be done by the MTA itself, prior to calling SpamAssassin.
If the above statement about the envelope is true, then it would be impossible for SpamAssassin to have an absolute whitelisting of a delivery mailbox, since it has no access to the delivery information.

Hello, I'm currently running SA 2.43 on Mandrake 8.1 using the Postfix RPM that came with it, postfix-20010228-15mdk. Everything seems to be working fine except the all_spam_to entries. There are some email addresses I do not want filter at all so I've put those email addresses under all_spam_to. An example is:all_spam_to [EMAIL PROTECTED] all_spam_to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The problem is, some emails still get filtered while others do not. The headers in the emails that get filtered look like they normally should when getting filtered. The emails that don't get filtered have the line USER_IN_ALL_SPAM_TO and have a negative score as well in the headers which is what it should do if I understand it correctly. I even tried listing the same email addresses under whitelist_to and more_spam_to but there is no difference. Any help or suggestions on this problem would be appreciated.
