Date: 2010apr16 Product: Spam Assassin Q. How do I tell Spam Assassin that some mail is not spam (whitelist) ? A. If Spam Assassin is marking some mail you regular get as spam you can set up a rule to indicate that its not. For example if mail from your discount brokerage is flagged as a scam you can do this. Create file /usr/share/spamassassin/99_my_broker.cf with contents:

##{ FH_MY_BROKER header FH_MY_BROKER From =~ /mybroker.com/ describe FH_MY_BROKER Appears to be from my broker score FH_MY_BROKER -10 ##} FH_MY_BROKER

The negative score will counteract any positive points the mail may get. You can perform matchs on all other mail fields too.
