Whitelist_subject and Blacklist_Subject
I've googled and I searched the list archives but I can't find
information on this.
How do you use the whitelist subject and the blacklist subject plugin?
Where do yo write the blacklist or the whitelist?
Thanks

Hello
Would it work if add to user_prefs this line
whitelist_subject good subject
I mean will that give me -100 score if an email comes with good subject, in
subject?
My question is about validity of writing that in user_prefs file.

That (aborting other tests) is called short-circuiting and doesn't exist
in SpamAssassin releases except on the dev lists as a discussion (and
possibly a POC). So no, the other tests won't abort.. but the
whitelisting score (default -100) ought to override the score of the
other tests.

Hello,
I'm guessing here that this is an SA 3.1 thing (subject whitelisting)?
We are running 3.0.6.
My question though is does whitelisting something cause SA to abort
trying the other tests? In our case we tend to have senders, and
sometimes subjects, that we want to allow through. To that extent we
don't need/want SA to carry out any other tests, as by whitelisting them
we are saying we don't care about the message just let it through. It
seems a waste of the servers (and network) resources to carry out a load
of tests when we know, by doing the whitelist tests first, that we want
the message delivered unmarked.
Regards,
John.

just put in your local.cf ( or wherever you want to )
whitelist_subject good subject
blacklist_subject spammy subject
Assuming you have the subject module loaded in SA
Thanks
