We have at least one person who e-mailed a client and they were quarantined despite being on the Whitelisted Auto White List Force Delivery file. The user was quarantined to due a keyword match in the filter for this particular domain. My understanding is that if something is whitelisted it will bypass all the other filters except for Cached IP Blacklist and Greylisting. Here are excerpts from the log file:
Note I put the Xs in there.

invicta,

From your log entries it does not appear that there was a match caused by the from/to email addresses being present in the AutoWhiteList Force Delivery file. If there was a match, the following entry would have been logged:

08/19/09 19:41:23:026 -- (3768) Bypassed all rules for: wxxxxx@Hxxxxxx.com from mxxxxxx@zxxxxx.com ( AutoWhiteList Force Delivery)

Can you please double-check that the file does indeed contain the entry:

mxxxxxx@zxxxxx.com|wxxxxx@Hxxxxxx.com

and that the file is the actual one being used? If you're using SpamFilter ISP "standard", the file being used will be identified by the entry "WL_AuthorizedTOEmailsFileName" in the \SpamFilter\Domains\SFI\Filters.ini

Hello,

 
I have the Enterprise version and and see the address whitelisted in the file C:\Program Files\SpamFilter\domains\Hxxxxxx.com\WL_AutoWhiteListForceDelivery.txt
 
 
Is there any way to verify when the entry was whitelisted to verify that the client actually whitelisted it before it was blocked?
 
Thanks!

Sure. When the entry is added to the autowhitelist file, SpamFilter will log the event with a line similar to:

08/20/09 18:14:31:438 -- (288) Adding to C:\Program Files\SpamFilter\domains\Hxxxxxx.com\WL_AutoWhiteListForceDelivery.txt:mxxxxxx@zxxxxx.com|wxxxxx@Hxxxxxx.com

If you run a text search thru SpamFilter's activity logfiles for either the entry in bold above, or more simply for "mxxxxxx@zxxxxx.com|wxxxxx@Hxxxxxx.com" you should be able to pinpoint the date/time when that entry was added.
