I definitely think this is subjective and I think the FAQ says it best... Anyway, whether or not this feature would be used by everyone, it would be a great addition. I do not know how many emails I may have lost to the junk folder because I can barely keep up with my suspects folder and if there was a way for me to keep an active local whitelist based on my contacts, my sent items, and my HAM, I would dare say I would have more confidence in my ability to not miss a business communication.
I am pretty active in the development community and I can say in the past 10 years I have never received spam (forged) from an associate. I dare say much of the userbase of spambayes (unless they are python developers apparently :)) do not either. Anyway thanks for the responses -- I had not seen that FAQ. -----Original Message----- From: Skip Montanaro [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 18, 2005 4:16 PM To: Bryan D. Andrews Cc: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Spambayes] Feature Request Bryan> Don't you agree that you should be able to whitelist everyone you Bryan> are doing business though? No, actually I don't. I get the occasional spam and/or virus purporting to be from people in the Python community who I believe would never spam me and who I also trust keep their machines virus-free.. I trust SpamBayes to sort things out. In situations where I think email coming from a particular source "can't possibly be spam", I filter it to the proper mailbox before SpamBayes sees it. You should be able to do this in Outlook as well. I don't use Outlook though, so I'd be hard-pressed to tell you how to do this.
