Description Jaren 2002-12-26 16:10:06 UTC 
I configured a few e-mail addresses in 
the /usr/local/MailScanner/etc/spam.whitelist.conf file. I did read the warning 
at the top of this file which indicates that adding a member to the whitelist 
will basically allow all recipients of the message to receive the unwanted spam 
message... not just the whitelisted member. I was wondering if there are any 
work arounds to this problem or any other suggested methods of whitelisting an 
address without allowing the message to come through to all of the other 
recipients of the message. We are running Linux Redhat v 7.x

This is a MailScanner question, so I'm marking as invalid.

As for workarounds, if you run spamassassin seperately for each user, each user
can have different whitelist/blacklist settings and can decide what filtering
options they want.

If you're running from SMTP, you're kind of stuck with no per-user
configuration, single yes/no during filtering, etc.
