USER_IN_WHITELIST problem

I have spam getting through that would get filtered if they were not 
getting -100 because of the USER_IN_WHITELIST rule. I do have a whitelist but 
no of these spam email have anything close to my whitelist.

I am using the latest version of spamassassin and update my rules daily. I 
have also added the SARE rules to my configuration.

The system is doing a great job.I would say I am successfully filtering 95% of 
the spam coming in. Now I'm just doing some fine tuning and need some help.

Ok I have an update.  I picked a message that was getting marked 
USER_IN_WHITELIST once every 5 or so messages.  I took the from address 
and added this code to Perl..Mail\SpamAssassin\EvalTests.pm

    if ($addr =~ qr/$regexp/i) {
      dbg("rules: address $addr matches whitelist or blacklist regexp: 
$regexp");
 >      if ("$addr" eq "xrispatial\@torkildson.com") {
 >        info("PARADOX: rules: address $addr matches whitelist or 
blacklist regexp: $regexp");
 >        foreach my $reg (values %{$list}) {
 >          info("PARADOX: $reg");
 >        }
      }

I then ran my loop and watched the log.  After a few tries it hit.  
Guess the cool part.  It printed out hundreds and hundreds of lines of 
blacklist/whitelist settings.  I use a domain/username file based pref 
system, no sql, nothing broken there. 

The hundreds of lines were not 'all' my wl/bl's.  After some more 
debugging I am petty confident that I am seeing the list of all wl/bl's 
loaded in memory for any message being scanned at that moment.  On this 
particularly box probably around 25 or so.

Pretty cool huh?

How is this possible?  How did it just start happening out of nowhere?

Re: USER_IN_WHITELIST problem

Posted by Ryan Pavely <pa...@nac.net>.
As of last Wednesday I am having this problem.  In fact it's more then 
just USER_IN_WHITELIST, I am getting many reports of incorrect 
USER_IN_BLACKLIST.

No I don't whitelist my domain.
Yes I checked the To/From/ReplyTo/EnvelopeFrom/etc.
No the users don't have whitelist/blacklist entries anywhere close to 
reported match in debug mode.




Green = Blacklist
Blue = Whitelist

The most recent change, on or around Wednesday, was I ran sa-update.  I 
now use the rule's located in /var/lib/spamassassin.
 I checked my configs and noticed v310.pre now shows AWL enabled.  I 
disabled this, thought I saw all my graphs drop but sadly it was a 
momentary drop.
 I reverted back to using /usr/local/share/spamassassin base rules.  No 
change.  So therefore I have rolled back any change made in the last week.

Here are two examples of a test I just ran.  I took two messages and ran 
them through a loop.  One gets scanned
normally and occassionally hits the blacklist.  The other does the 
inverse.  Both are from my inbox, dated today.

Do you have some example headers?

All this guessing can easily be put to rest by posting:

1. The headers of the message in question
2. Your SA whitelist statements

Well, I certainly don't mean to be argumentative about this, but over
the weekend, I had to set USER_IN_WHITELIST score to 0 due to the number
of false hits it was receiving.  Seeing as I am the only one here who
has the ability to add and remove from whitelists or blacklists, I have
a pretty good idea of what is in them.  I can't say for sure, but there
certainly seems to be a bug in this particular rule.  If I could help to
troubleshoot it, I would be glad to provide whatever information is
necessary.

Yes they do, otherwise you wouldn't see USER_IN_WHITELIST hitting.

It's probably hitting on whatever the envelope from address is (found in

the Return-Path header).  Most of the time this happens when people 
whitelist their own domain using whitelist_from.

Yes they do, otherwise you wouldn't see USER_IN_WHITELIST hitting.

It's probably hitting on whatever the envelope from address is (found in 
the Return-Path header).  Most of the time this happens when people 
whitelist their own domain using whitelist_from.
