"Once you have set up Spamassassin so it is working and
you have run it for some time you may want to tune it to provide
automatic whitelists and blacklists. The whitelist will provide a
way to insure that the mail from a particular source will never get
rejected. This may be important clients, users on the system or
messages from servers that do not necessarily have the right
credentials for sending mail. Your company may have important
clients that send email that has characteristics that put it on the
edge with Spamassassin and you may want to ensure that you do not
loose an email. Or you may have users who are on the system that do
not always follow the best protocol for how they construct messages
but you want to make sure that their mail is not rejected. An
important use for whitelists is when you have servers that are
sending logs, error messages, or monitoring information to a mail
account and this mail does not have the format or the sender format
that Spamassassin needs to see. If you are looking for
documentation of this information check out our Postfix Mail Server
Manual.
"The whitelist will automatically reduce the spam score for a
user which is listed in the whitelist. The score is reduced by 100
points so that would suggest there is very little chance of the
mail being rejected."
