I'm having the same issue. With employees who work remotely all over the country and others frequently traveling, there's no possible way I can whitelist everyone.


I'm wondering if there's a way to run spamass-milter only on a certain port. For instance, I make sure all our users have our self-signed cert installed and are using smtps on port 465. So theoretically mail that comes in there is presumed much safer than mail from other MTAs coming in on 25. Can I limit spamass-milter to only check on 25 and leave 465 alone?


I understand it's not the perfect solution, but unsure how else to get around it. My users are constantly complaining about their own outbound email being marked as spam. And it's primarily because of Outlook headers and rDNS, which is unavoidable with mail directly from the employees.

That's a little tricky, since in sendmail, milters are
called very early in the delivery process; sendmail itself
doesn't even know if the message is incoming or outgoing.

What I do is add a SpamAssassin rule to lower the score of
emails sent from internal machines.  Most of my internal
email is sent from Domino mail servers, though, so it has
unique headers I can filter on.  If you have a lot of
different machines connecting to your mailserver and sending
outgoing email, that solution may not work for you. 

The milter API does provide the IP address of the client, so
I should be able to add something to spamass-milter to not
check email sent from a particular IP address range.

to check outgoing mail, only incoming, is it possible ?
