Enabling USER_IN_BLOCKLIST
Hello,
I have plenty of these in my headers

0.0 USER_IN_BLOCKLIST From: user is listed in the block-list
100 USER_IN_BLACKLIST DEPRECATED: See USER_IN_BLOCKLIST

but I don't know how to get USER_IN_BLOCKLIST working in place of
USER_IN_BLACKLIST.

Any help appreciated

Greetings, Roberto
Re: Enabling USER_IN_BLOCKLIST [ In reply to ]
Go find the rule in the rule sets. In my old SL7 install I get a bundle more
than makes sense with a simple  "sudo grep -r USER_IN BLACKLIST
/var/lib/spamassassin". People with more prejudices than good sense decided
"BLACK" in a rule name is R*A*C*I*S*T so they broke everything renaming it
"BLOCK". So change any rules YOU may have that say USER_IN_BLACKLIST to
USER_IN_BLOCKLIST so the block heads are happy.

I'll go crawl back in my hole of hates needless controversy and leave the rest
to you and others. I'm racist because I'd rather spend effort on something
productive after dealing with a government jerk over the term of art "fork".
Basically we were told to do the impossible and "get the fork out of there,"
That wasted about $100,000 of our time that could have been used to make the
product work better. After the ensuing problems we went back to the unmodified
version of GRiD-OS and magically everything worked again. The waste was
offensive - in that case and this one.

Are you using the 4.0 release candidate?

Re: Enabling USER_IN_BLOCKLIST [ In reply to ]
On 3.4.X, adding those rules should be enough:

score URI_HOST_IN_BLOCKLIST 100.0
score URI_HOST_IN_BLACKLIST 0
score URI_HOST_IN_WHITELIST 0
score URI_HOST_IN_WELCOMELIST -100
score USER_IN_BLOCKLIST 100.0
score USER_IN_BLACKLIST 0
score USER_IN_WELCOMELIST -100.0
score USER_IN_WHITELIST 0

You should put them in your LOCAL_RULES_DIR. For most users, it is in /etc/mail/spamassassin. Adding them to local.cf is probably a good place.

Jdow, don't change stuff directly in /var/lib/spamassassin and don't recommend others to do so. Nothing is broken because of that renaming, except your ego.

Best,
Laurent

I'm sorry you read it that way. My intent was to provide documentation that
could lead to understanding what was going on. You are correct, use user_prefs
or local.cf or a custom XXX.cf file in the appropriate place for local.cf.
(Specifically I'd have it in with the surviving SARE rules I use.)

And "gabor.szabo@gmail.com" can stuff his mail setup where the sun doesn't shine.
