Re: [Evolution] Spam filter whitelisting (was: I have an idea)

["Zot O'Connor" <zot zotconsulting com>]

I will repost this.

1)  Open contacts, select all, save as lists.vcf
2) Grab emails into a file, perl example:

        #!/usr/bin/perl
        print "Subject:  emails\nTo:blah blah com\n\n";
        while (<>) {
          #if (/([:alphanumeric:_ -]* [:alphanumeric:_\.-]*\.[:alphanumeric:]+)/) {
          if (/[a-z0-9_]+([\\-\\.][a-z0-9_]+)* [a-z0-9_]+([\\-\\.][a-z0-9_]+)+/) {
            print "$&\n";
          }
        }

The subject/to line is needed by spamassassin, it wants to see an email.

3) Run spamassassin input:
        spamassassin -l filelog -D --add-to-whitelist < /tmp/myemails
The -l is the only way to get debug out.
        elm -f filelog
Checks it.

4) Run spamassassin with the autowhitelist option (-a).

Run the check_list tool to review.
        perl /usr/doc/spamassassin-tools-2.41/tools/check_whitelist
A normal auto whitelist:
    -5.0          (-5/1)  --  fejj ximian com
One that I imported
  -100.0        (-100/1)  --  evolution ximian com
