You need ok_locales. This is *EXACTLY* how it works. It is not a whitelist, it's a list of exceptions to a blacklist. Re-read man Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf when it says: "This option is used to specify which locales are considered OK for incoming mail. Mail using the *character sets* that are allowed by this option will not be marked as possibly being spam in a foreign language." ie: if the locale of the message isn't in ok_locales, CHARSET_FARAWAY and friends will fire off, giving the message a positive score. Now, technically the score of CHARSET_FARAWAY defaults to 3.2, which isn't enough to mark as spam by itself. You can always over-ride the score, but I'd suggest trying it out with the default score first.
