[Mimedefang] Need help understand whitelisting(whitelist_from_rcvd)

[Steve Pfister]

The only sa-mimedefang.cf I found was the path that I had originally gave...

Do whitelist_from_rcvd and def_whitelist_from_rcvd actually work in
spamassassin 2.63? I'm starting to think that they don't. Also... what is
the difference between the two?

Thanks!

[by the way, when I post to this list, it seems to be saying that my message
is being forwarded to a moderator because I'm not a list member...as far as
I know, I'm a list member. Am I doing something wrong?]

You path *might* be /etc/mail/mimedefang/spamassassin/sa-mimedefang.cf.   I
would just do:

find /etc -name sa-mimedefang.cf

It will add a default of -100 points to an email and show
"USER_IN_WHITELIST"
for $names.    You can change the score later on via sa-mimedefang.cf.
