I do something similar but different. All of my white lists are outside of my
procmailrc  so I can edit them more easily.  One address per line, e.g.
users@spamassassin.apache.org

I do blacklisting the same way.

I keep a separate whitemlists file for mailing lists vs. people because some
lists put the list address in the From: field, but many put the list name in
the To: field. My human correspondents whitelist only checks From.

Here's an excerpt from my procmailrc. Whenever I bypass SA, I add an X header
to tell me that I bypassed and why.


GREP="egrep -iqsf"            # ignore case, quiet, suppress errors,
FGREP="fgrep -iwf"            # ignore case (whole words? -w)

# mail from the following bypasses all other filtering
WHITELIST=$PMDIR/whitelist          # people
WHITEMLISTS=$PMDIR/whitemlists      # mailing lists
WHITEDOMAINS=$PMDIR/whitedomains    # domains
# mail from these is deleted
BLACKLIST=$PMDIR/blacklist          # people
BLACKDOMAINS=$PMDIR/blackdomains    # domains
BLACKSUBJECTS=$PMDIR/blacksubjects  # subject lines

SUBJECT="`formail -zxSubject:`"
SENTFROM="`formail -zxFrom: -zxReply-To:`"
SENTTO="`formail -zxTo: -zxCc:`"
