Q.  How do I tell Spam Assassin that some mail is not spam (whitelist) ?

A.  If Spam Assassin is marking some mail you regular get as spam
you can set up a rule to indicate that its not.

For example if mail from your discount brokerage is flagged as a scam you
can do this.

Create file /usr/share/spamassassin/99_my_broker.cf with contents:

	##{ FH_MY_BROKER
	header   FH_MY_BROKER         From =~ /mybroker.com/
	describe FH_MY_BROKER         Appears to be from my broker
	score FH_MY_BROKER            -10
	##} FH_MY_BROKER

The negative score will counteract any positive points the mail may get.
You can perform matchs on all other mail fields too.
