error withelist

[Milko Ilari <mi...@enter.it>]

hi all
in these last weeks i monitored my spamassasin configured
with sql db cause i noticed a strange thing.
by the debbugging log i see it checks db to catch withelist
but in the header of the mail i don't see a USER_IN_WHITELIST
in the spamassassin header. if the same whitelist is in
the local.cf, spamassassin recognizes it and don't tag the
email as spam.
anyone know why i have this problem?

thanks

Ok.. First things first. SpamAssassin has multiple systems that go by the 
name of whitelist.

First, there's the USER_IN_WHITELIST system. This is triggered by 
whitelist_from or whitelist_from_rcvd statements in your configfiles. 
Purely manual only.

Second, there's the "auto whitelist" which shows up as the AWL rule. This 
system is neither a whitelist nor a blacklist, but exhibits a bit of both 
behaviors in an automatic fashion by averaging the historic average score 
for that sender with the current score.

With that in mind, can you be more specific about the problem?

What exact things do you see in the debug log (munge IPs and addresses if 
you wish)?
