Opt out receiving domain?

[SilkBC]

Is it possible to opt a receiving domain (or e-mail address) out from spam filtering? Alternatively, is it possible to increase the spam score for a specific receiving domain (or e-mail address) from the global default?

For example, if i have e-mails for 'domain.tld' coming into the system, is there a way to tell the system to not do spam scanning for that domain (or at least specific e-mail addresses)?

For the second example, we have the global score set to 5 (i.e., any e-mail scoring 5 or higher is tagged as spam). Without changing the global default, can this "minimum spam score" be increased on a per-domain or per-email-address basis?

I hope this makes sense?

Thanks!

For your first question, add the domain or address to the whitelist.

For your second question, not exactly. But what you could do is add a spamassassin rule to adjust the spam score. So mailbfrom domain.tld could be set to -2.0 to effectively change your spam score for that domain from 5 to 7

They are both sort of the same question

Regarding your first answer, if I add a domain for which we receive (host) the e-mail for to the whitelist, that allows e-mail that comes in for it to bypass the scanning? I thought the whitelist was for domains or e-mail addresses that were "external".

For the second answer, I would just add this to the " local" SpamAssassin config/file, correct? So anything coming in for the domain we host I can add that score to and it will effectively increase the "identified as spam" score for anything coming in for it?

For the first, I believe that is the case. I'll test it.

For the second, that is correct. Set your rule correctly and spamassassin will do the rest.

Yes, correct. Set the from email or domain and it works for anything, incoming or outgoing.
