Hello,

mabe i missed the clue, but whitelisting doesnt work as expected.
the list shows what I want do get whitelisted, but only mails from ebay
gets whitelisted.

whitelist_from *@ebay.de
whitelist_from *@*sourceforge.net
whitelist_from *@*rhyolite.com
whitelist_from *@incubator.apache.org
whitelist_from *@*apache.org
whitelist_from *@*apple.com
whitelist_from_rcvd *@incubator.apache.org apache.org

another point is this. bayes might learn ham of those mails from our
list, but offten there are spam`ish things in it. so is it possible
stopping autolearning from those mails which got whitelisted ?

regards,
Matthias

Quick question.. you don't expect the above line to whitelist messages from
this mailing list do you?

Messages sent via this list aren't from *@incubator.apache.org... they're
to *@incubator.apache.org.

Don't whitelist your domain. The best way is to have a script update
your domain whilelist with actual users, so you whitelist user1@foo.com
user2@foo.com, etc. I'd then have each individual user file blacklist
their OWN name (so user1 looks for user1@foo.com) so it reverses the
-100 (or whatever) score. That way, someone can't forge their own
address, nor any non-existent user on the system.
