1/16 Is there anyway to peek / modify the auto_whitelist.db on
spamassassin? Dunhills Vacation is keep bombarding my email
account that it made to my stupid auto_whitelist. Thanks
\_ -R. rtfm.
\_ Dude, read the fucking docs right there in the same directory.
Fucking ridiculous. The motd is willing to help with real problems
but not this baby sitting hand holding can't-read shit. --motd
\_ Does the almighty motd even help with real problems?
\_ This is actually a reasonable question. The docs say
how to add or remove entries, but they do not shed any light
on how to determine if an address is in the db. That's of
questionable utility but I don't think you should dogpile
this guy. --aaron
\_ If you can show that you've made an honest effort to solve
the problem you need help with BEFORE you post to motd,
then yes, the almighty motd is often very helpful. There's
a very simple ettiquite for getting help in technical forums
such as this one. It might behoove you to learn it.
\_ The motd is chock full of *really* great answers to questions
worth answering. "I clearly made no effort so just spoon feed
me!" is not worth answering.
\_ The "peek" part is not documented. The docs say how to add or
remove entries, but they do not shed any light on how to
determine if an address is in the db. That's of questionable
utility though. You can set, why check? --aaron
\_ strings is the magic command for all unreadable formats but
I totally agree with you on this one.
\_ Real Men Use od.
\_ There are actually two whitelists. one is auto-generated,
another is user defined inside the user_pref file. It is not
clear rather whatever defined in user_pref is made into
auto-whitelist.db or not, that is why I posted the original
question on how to peek the database. Having said that,
I apologize not reading the man page more thoroughly. I went
to the spamassassin website and read much of documents before
I posted the question. The information on man page was not
very accessible on its homepage. -op |
