See the SA mailing list archives for my other postings about shortcircuit rules that allow trusted senders like this one to pass through allowing the KAM_*, BAYES_99, etc. with high scores to block more based on content rather than reputation which is what that BOTNET rule did incorrectly. The whitelist_auth entry will bypass those rules now. Dave
