AFAIK the only way to do this in most clients would be to have them automatically add anyone that you send mail to an address book of some type, and then filter based on that. Note that this would be difficult for SpamBayes, too, and unlikely to be added, since SpamBayes doesn't do anything with sent mail (apart from the few SMTP proxy users). > -Allow all users in my contacts folder If you're using Outlook (your headers make it look like you are) then this is the rule "where sender is in specified address book". > -Allow all users I have classified as spam I presume you mean *trained* as *ham*? (Otherwise this makes very little sense). You could do this with one extra step, by adding the sender of any messages you train (with just false positives and unsures, this should be a small number) to an address book, and using the same rule. Outlook has a context-menu item that offers to add the sender to an address book. As Skip (and the FAQ) pointed out, SpamBayes essentially does this, but in a more clever way, anyway. > I would be willing to pay (or donate or whatever) for the > development of this feature as well if anyone is interested > (within reason of course). So why not just use something like InBoxer, instead? SpamBayes engine, plus whitelisting, support, etc. <http://spambayes.org/related.html> =Tony.Meyer -- Please always include the list (spambayes at python.org) in your replies (reply-all), and please don't send me personal mail about SpamBayes. http://www.massey.ac.nz/~tameyer/writing/reply_all.html explains this. _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html
