The white-list and black-list are sledgehammers - they overrule all filters. So I want a "partial" sledgehammer. First get the low-lying fruit with RBL and RDNS etc, then use the sledgehammer to only accept mail to valid users.
The way I run the second spamdyke is with a recipient-whitelist (containing all addresses that I want to receive email on) and a recipient-blacklist (which is wildcard everything else). As of 3.1.8 I don't think this is possible in one invocation. So I have to daisy-chain two invocations. The question was "What is a good way to do this?". Hope this explanation helps. - V On Tue, May 27, 2008 at 1:14 PM, nightduke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Why you have two lines with spamdyke? > > It's necesary only one line spamdyke -f /etc/spamdyke/spamdyke.conf... > > Nightduke > > > 2008/5/27, Venks Izod <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: >> I had originally added a whitelist-recipient-file and a >> blacklist-recipient-file.
