How does one stop spam which is from a forged or legitimate address within my

I get tons of spam which slips past spamassassin because of
USER_IN_WHITELIST

Should I just take my domain out of the whitelist?

Suggestion: set a subject that has something to do with your post...

Answer to your question:


Just don't whitelist your own domain, as you suggested. You shouldn't need to whitelist your domain anyway. I don't.



If you must whitelist your domain, use whitelist_from_rcvd, not whitelist_from. Make sure the rcvd part is something that can be used to identify email internal machines by looking at the Received: headers which will not match mail from the outside.


ie:

whitelist_from_rcvd     [EMAIL PROTECTED]  inexs.com

Forgery is why whitelist_from_rcvd exists in the first place.. use it.
