Autowhitelist and ip addresses
I was looking at the contents of my autowhitelist.db, and I noted a number of
reference to my own address, hacksaw@hacksaw.org, but with ip fragments that
were not mine.
"Cool!" I thought. But wait, some of them have very low scores, like -101. And
not the one from my real ip address. It had a paltry -8.
Yes, I added it to my static whitelist. But how do I tell it that
hacksaw@hacksaw.org can only originate at my ip address? Anything claiming to
be hacksaw@hacksaw.org that originates from any other ip address is probably
spam, or me doing something odd from a client's site.
One point of terribleness: I figured that I should tell the AWL that it had
made a mistake and correct it, so I found a mail with the bogus address (as
evidenced by the Received: header), and cat'ed it in spamassassin
--add-to-blacklist. This resulted in the new entry looking like this:
hacksaw > /usr2/src/Mail-SpamAssassin-2.63/tools/check_whitelist | grep
hacksaw@hacksaw.org
100.0 (100.0/1) -- hacksaw@hacksaw.org|ip=cmd
With sadness in my heart, I removed it.
Help this floundering fellow.
