 Topic: SF is whitelisting, but should not be.Posted: 26 March 2009 at 10:07pm |

When some releases a message from quarantine, it is automatically adding the sender to the
tblwl_autowhitelistforcedelivery table, but I don't want that. I have turned it off in the spamfilter.ini file using: ;If turned on, any quarantined (false positives) emails that the end user force-delivers will cause the sender to be automatically whitelisted AutoWhiteListForceDeliveryEnabled=0 Is there something else I need to do to have it just release the message, but not whitelist the sender? Thanks, Robert G. |

Robert,
That setting, if disabled, will actually only prevent the whitelisting of incoming emails if the sender/recipient combination is present in the AutoWhiteList. So setting AutoWhiteListForceDeliveryEnabled=0 will not prevent the addition of new entries to the tblwl_autowhitelistforcedelivery, but it will prevent SpamFilter from using the contents of that table to whitelist incoming emails. If you wish to keep that table "clean" you will need to schedule a job that will routinely empty that table. |

The reason I noticed it was actually because email was being whitelisted and allowed through.
I had released some SPAM from the quarantine, then a few days later I got more SPAM from the same sender and it was whitelisted and sent through. X-SF-RX-Return-Path: <noreply@HEYLOOKATSHOP.INFO> X-SF-HELO-Domain: HEYLOOKATTHISSHOP.INFO X-SF-Originating-IP: 65.60.38.126 X-SF-WhiteListedReason: AutoWhiteList Force Delivery X-Rejection-Reason: 16 - 557 Your domain HEYLOOKATTHISSHOP.INFO does not have a valid MX DNS record. Disconnecting... The message was received, should have been quarantined because the sender has no valid MX record. Except a few days before I released a SPAM from that sender and it was whitelisted. Based on your comment, the sender/recipient is in the file, but with the setting turned off it should not have been released correct? I am trying to implement a system where people can release messages from quarantine, and have the option of whitelisting them or not. Robert G. |

Robert,
I'm very sorry, I missed the fact that on your initial posting you mentioned editing the "spamfilter.ini" file. That setting has actually been migrated, since SpamFilter v3.5, to the "Filters.ini" file located in the appropriate folder under the \SpamFilter\Domains directory structure. For SpamFilter ISP standard, the path is \SpamFilter\Domains\SFI\Filters.ini. For SpamFilter Enterprise, the setting, while stored in the Filters.ini file for each domain under that diretory structure, is actually retrieved from the "autowhitelistforcedeliveryenabled" setting in the "tbl_FilterSettings" in the database. We also saw that the documentation is incorrect on this parameter, and we will be updating it shortly. |

Ah, that makes sense now. I guess I can remove that value from the INI file so I don't make the mistake again.
Thanks Robert G. |
