I was looking at the contents of my autowhitelist.db, and I noted a number of reference to my own address, [EMAIL PROTECTED], but with ip fragments that were not mine.
"Cool!" I thought. But wait, some of them have very low scores, like -101. And not the one from my real ip address. It had a paltry -8. Yes, I added it to my static whitelist. But how do I tell it that [EMAIL PROTECTED] can only originate at my ip address? Anything claiming to be [EMAIL PROTECTED] that originates from any other ip address is probably spam, or me doing something odd from a client's site. One point of terribleness: I figured that I should tell the AWL that it had made a mistake and correct it, so I found a mail with the bogus address (as evidenced by the Received: header), and cat'ed it in spamassassin --add-to-blacklist. This resulted in the new entry looking like this: hacksaw > /usr2/src/Mail-SpamAssassin-2.63/tools/check_whitelist | grep [EMAIL PROTECTED] 100.0 (100.0/1) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]|ip=cmd With sadness in my heart, I removed it. Help this floundering fellow. -- In stores NOW! Elmer's Gluons! http://www.hacksaw.org -- http://www.privatecircus.com -- KB1FVD
