man Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf whitelist_from_rcvd [EMAIL PROTECTED] sourceforge.net Use this to supplement the whitelist_from addresses with a check against the Received headers. The first parameter is the address to whitelist, and the second is a domain to match in the Received headers. This domain does not allow globbing, and must be followed by a numeric IP address in brackets in the Received headers. > I'm not sure where I read about this (I not even sure I did read it > given I can't find it anymore :-( ) but isn't the point of this list > that these sites don't send bulk mail unless you didn't opted-out (or you > actually opted-in) and will remove you from their list if you ask? > > Maybe I'm just lucky but I can't remember any spam from amazon.com even > after purchasing several dead trees from them. I do not recall ever having opted-in for anything from amazon.com, although, there could have been some option that defaulted to spamming me, that I forgot to un-set ;> Regarding orbitz.com, I know that I did *not* opt-in, and I receive spam several times per week. Also, as a matter of principle, I do *not* offer my email address in any after-the-fact opt-out process. -- Best Regards, mds mds resource 877.596.8237 - Dare to fix things before they break . . . - Our capacity for understanding is inversely proportional to how much we think we know.
