whitelist file

[Jean-Paul Natola <jn...@familycareintl.org>]

Hi all,

I was wondering how I can go about having SA  reference a file for
whitelisitng. 

In other words , instead of manually editing the cf file,  can I have a text
file on the network that  users can go to , enter the address and domain they
are whitelisitng and have SA reference that ?

Does that seem like a feasible solution?

A file called for instance "whilelist.cf" is a text file.  You could have
one of those that users could edit in the SA site rules directory, but it
would generally be a bad idea.

If users have shell accounts, they could I believe put whitelist entries in
user_prefs in their .spamassassin directories, even without allow_user_rules
set.

You could write some sort of tool or web app that would periodically harvest
user whitelist entries from defined locations and add them to a whitelist.cf
file in the normal location for site rules.
