Private whitelisting

[Neil Schwartzman <ne...@returnpath.net>]

qq: How do would I get spamassassin to reference an internal list of IPs?
(This would be all of our client IPs in either suspended or active states on
our whitelists to avoid denying access to our ticketing system from those
clients with dnsbl listings) I know how to aggregate the data, just want a
clue offered as to how to call them from SA.

TIA

Two ways:

(1) Set up an internal DNS zone and do a negative-scoring DNSBL lookup,

or

(2) Do it at the MTA level and bypass SA for those IPs completely.
