I guess it's been a while since I set this up, so people have forgotten. There's a "whitelist" that has subscribers to all the CDRs, anonymous remailers, and anyone that has ever posted to any CDR (assuming we got the mail). It's not often that there is a non-spam post from a sender that isn't on the whitelist-- when there is, I forward it and put the sender on the list.

Do you filter on the same header that you build the white-list from? Ie I forge all of my mail, it's really coming from ABack@ex.ac.uk; but I want replies to adam@cypherspace.org. I've encountered other "subscribers only" situations where my mail gets bounced because they look too deeply at the headers and see the received line or Sender so something is ABack@ex.ac.uk and block it even though the From line is adam@cypherspace.org, and I subscribed as adam@cypherspace.org Adam On Mon, May 12, 2003 at 01:03:05PM -0700, Eric Murray wrote:

The whitelist lookup is off the From: header.

The From_ header on this was ABack@ex.ac.uk. If it's not on the whitelist it gets added when I see the bounce. Eric

whitelist
If you're thinking about using relay blocking lists, you'll also need to whitelist them, because there are some systems like John Gilmore's that get blocked otherwise. I don't know how many of the remailers show up on blacklists, but the remailer-operators list periodically notes domains that get blacklisted as well, so it's non-zero.
