I have addresses set up in the global whitelist that are being marked as spam.  I need to know how the whitelist is supposed to be working.  Is iRedMail supposed to skip spam assassin completely or is spam assassin supposed to use iRedMail's whitelist?

Is there a way to debug what is happening?  Could I have missing information in my spamassassin config file?


This is an older mail server that has had iRedMail upgraded several times over the last four years.  I do not think I missed any of the steps required for each upgrade but...

Re: Spam whitelist

There're few types of whitelists in iRedMail (and iRedAdmin-Pro) for different services. May i know how did you add the whitelist?

If you add global whitelists (not the ones for greylisting service), it will bypass spam checking.

To debug this, you can turn on debug mode in Amavisd and check its log file. FYI:

You may also want to turn on debug mode in iRedAPD to check how whitelist works in iRedAPD. FYI:
