Re: [Assp-user] SenderBase explanation please

[Alex F. <ad...@as...>]

I'm using V1 for now, but senderbase is here too in 1.5 versions.

1) If set to whiting, the message is passed through (similar to regexes 
you add in whiteRe). So the message doesn't need to be scored, it is 
just let through. Monitor, like everything else in ASSP just gives you 
the result in your logs for testing, but has no effect on scoring itself.

2) a) It's a Perl regex (regular expression) - I'm not familiar with 
them, but I plan to learn them since it would help so much with 
filtering...you don't have     to use the \b when adding something in 
whiteorg/blackorg
   b)Yes

3) Not that I'm aware of

4) I think you're correct, it's for activating or not the 
blacksenderbase file
