Question about SpamAssassin whitelists

[Kent Brockman]

Hello friends.

Today I'm facing this requirement. For a given account, I need to whitelist ALL emails coming from Yahoo Mail servers. they have lots of IP addresses in different ranges. So I decided to use the whitelist_from feature within SpamAssassin screen in the end user cPanel. The issue is: I have to whitelist every Latam Yahoo domain:

• yahoo.com
• yahoo.es
• yahoo.cl
• yahoo.com.ar
• yahoo.com.co
• yahoo.com.mx
• yahoo.com.pe
• yahoo.com.ve

Does it accept wildcards of type: *@yahoo.*

Thanks!

Hello

Per the user_pref file for an account with SpamAssassin enabled:

# Whitelist and blacklist addresses are now file-glob-style patterns, so
# "[email protected]", "*@isp.com", or "*.domain.net" will all work.

You are welcome to try using a wildcard for the TLD location after Yahoo. Let us know if it works.

Thank you.

Well, I did the tests and the wildcards ONLY works for filters of type *@mydomain.com
I tried *.yahoo* and it doesn't work.
I'll have to declare the domains one by one.
