Re: SpamAssassin Whitelist - step by step on how to add domains

Charles,

Here is a script we're using to add users and domains to our spamassassin whitelist in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf

If the script gets wrapped, you can also get it only from my Post.Office resource page: http://www.euregio.net/joe/postoffice/

Put the script on your server as whitelist.sh and chmod 755 to make it executable.

A great way to create a default configuration file is the online configurator at http://www.yrex.com/spam/spamconfig.php

Hope this helps,

Joe.


----------- Start whitelist.sh -----------------
#!/bin/sh
#echo "If you get an error "Could not create INET socket" then
#please restart spamd like this:
#type "ps -ax | grep spamd"
#and for each process id you see in the list you should
#type "kill <pid> <pid>" to start spamd again,
#type "/usr/bin/spamd -u mta -d"

spamd="/usr/bin/spamd -u mta -d"

echo "Add users to whitelist_from: user@xxxxxxxxxx *@domain.com"
read -p "Users to whitelist: " userlist
myok="n"
read -p "Is this correct:
whitelist_from $userlist
[y|n] " myok
if [ "$myok" = "y" ] ; then
        echo "appending /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf"
        echo "whitelist_from $userlist" >> /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf
        echo ""
        myok="n"
        read -p "Restart spamd? [y|n] " myok
        if [ "$myok" = "y" ] ; then
                spamdlist=`ps -axw | grep "spamd" | grep -v "grep" | awk 
'{print $1}'`
                echo "List of spamd processes: $spamdlist"
                for i in $spamdlist
                do
                                kill $i
                done
                echo "Starting: $spamd"
                $spamd
                sleep 2
                echo ""
                tail -5 /var/log/mail.log | grep "server started"
                ps -ax | grep "spamd" | grep -v "grep"
                echo ""
        else
                echo "User did not confirm... quitting..."
                exit
        fi
else
        echo "User did not confirm... quitting..."
        exit
fi
#end
----------- End whitelist.sh -----------------

Does someone have step by step terminal commands on how to add domains to the spamassassin whitelist? I've set up everything else with Post.Office including ClamAV and Vipul's Razor for Spamassassin, but I haven't been able to find any documentation on how to access and modify the config file.
