Whitelisted, but marked as spam

Hi all,

I'm having messages marked as spam, for users who are in my whitelist.

In /etc/mail/spamassasin/whitelist.cf are these lines (among others):
all_spam_to		*@foo.com
whitelist_to		*@foo.com
whitelist_to		user1@foo.com
Whitelist_from		*@foo.com
(it is this thourough because I didn't get this to work)

However, the user is still getting messages marked as spam, as is show in
the header below.
As you can see, the subject is rewritten with {Spam}, the spam status is
5.4, but below that also is marked as being in the all_spam, whitelist_from
and whitelist_to.

Return-path: <us...@foo.com>

Since you have AWL in there, I would check to see what AWL is scoring this
message.


RE: 50_scores.cf warnings (was: Whitelisted, but marked as spam)

Posted by Thijs Koetsier | Exception IT <th...@exception.nl>.
As a matter of fact I _really_ deleted the file a few days ago, so I just
downloaded the spamassassin .zip again and uploaded the extracted
50_scores.cf to my server.

Redownload the spamassassin package and extract that file again.  It sounds
like you have an older version of that file.

50_scores.cf warnings (was: Whitelisted, but marked as spam)

Posted by Thijs Koetsier | Exception IT <th...@exception.nl>.
So, now that I've replaced by 50_scores.cf (thanks Fred), I'm getting the
150 warnings back. They're all of the type:

warning: score set for non-existent rule ADVANCE_FEE_4

and correlate to the scoring rules in the 50_scores.cf file, such as

score ADVANCE_FEE_4 3.024 3.040 3.515 3.727

Should I remove the 150 lines these warnings originate from, or is there
something else wrong do you think?

Cheers,
Thijs

You would think that whitelist should be given a lower number than -1.0.
Otherwise, how does it counteract the many other rule additons.

How about adding:
score USER_IN_WHITELIST -20
score USER_IN_WHITELIST_TO -20
to your local.cf so that it does actually "whitelist".

RE: Whitelisted, but marked as spam

Posted by Thijs Koetsier | Exception IT <th...@exception.nl>.
In addition to my mail just send;

This is the e-mail recieved by the user. Shouldn't "user_in_whitelist" to
score -100 and "user_in_all_spam_to" be also at least more than -1.0?

Spam detection software, running on the system "zoltar.exception.nl", has
identified this incoming email as possible spam.  The original message has
been attached to this so you can view it (if it isn't spam) or label similar
future email.  If you have any questions, see the administrator of that
system for details.
