SA Black/Whitelist

Suddenly it was no longer possible to send mail between two
users on different servers here - the mails were marked
spammed and sent to quaratine. The mail in question was
absolutely spram-free, but the SPAM test failed on test AWL
with a score high enough to kill it.

Reason: During setup and testrun of SA, i had sent so many
spammed mails between the 2 users, that AWL had me blacklisted.

So, what to do now ? SA has fine options to add adresses to
whitelist and blacklist, as well as to remove them from
whitelist, but, as far as I can tell, there is no way
whatsoever to remove adresses from blacklist. Does that
really mean, that once an address is blacklisted,
it's for life ??

Is it possible to dump the database to some textfile,
remove the paroled prisoner and restore the base to
get the address back in circulation ?

As I found no other option, I finally nuked the database
to make it work again, but I really hope for a better idea...

Any help appreciated - Regards, Joern.-

Your AWL scores have become positive, thus having the effect of
BLACKlisting, but they're still in the autoWHITElist. Just use the
--remove-addr-from-whitelist function.

Thanks a lot. However, I am pretty sure, that I already tried that and
found no impact on the problem. Will try again to be sure.

Just verify it with check_whitelist to be sure. Are you running spamd?
