: I am having a problem with spamassassin registering a false positive. I : have tried to whitelist (unjunk) a particular individual whose name? : always seems to be junked. They are a good friend and I don't want to : keep losing their mail. I am using Evolution 2.10.3 with spamassassin : 3.2.3. : : If someone knows how to solve this problem I will stop here. : : If I can get a SA gui from the Fedora Repo that doesn't interfere with : Evolution, I will try that. I prefer a gui for this job because it's : not something I will have to do often. I use GUIs for very little and I don't use evolution at all so this may be of no help. But I suggest you look in ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs to see if it contains a line like whitelist_from your_friend@your_friends_domain On my system the presence of such a line starts my SPAM score out at -100 for that incoming message. Mail must pass a threshold of 4.5 to be tagged as spam so the mail must contain a wopping lot of indicators for this to happen. (It never has, so far.) Here's the Spam-Status line from a message from a Whitelisted person on my system: X-Spam-Status: No, score=-101.9 required=4.5 tests=AWL,BAYES_00,NO_RELAYS, USER_IN_WHITELIST autolearn=disabled version=3.2.3 Note the presence of USER_IN_WHITELIST. Does yours have that? It my case the Bayesian test pulled the score below -100, because it judged it to be non-spam from other factors. But even a Bayes score of "100% spam" only adds 4.3 points to the total (on my system). (Being entirely HTML adds another 4.5.) : Can someone suggest a spamassassin gui that I can download from the : Fedora 7 repo and that will fix this problem? The spamassassin site : recommends several front ends but I couldn't find any of them on the : Fedora add programs list (pirut). It's easy to edit your user_prefs file and insert that one line under the comment. Dean
