We are seeing email messages getting caught even when the person is set as bypass whitelist to table.  The user mailto:christi@thisdmain.org - christi@thisdmain.org is set to be bypass white listed. Below are logs showing that it's working most of the time but she is still getting some messages caught.

This is showing the user is set to bypass and receiving email from bl country.

I changed the domain for the local users to thisdomain.org to keep them from getting spammed.

Can you tell me why this is happening.  The timing tables reloading isn't the issue because the they were updated at midnight and 4 am.

Thanks,

What version are you running? In SFI or SFE mode?

WebGuyz,

This one is running SFI mode and we have the licenses for SFE but haven't got all of our programming converted to SFE database features yet.

We're not able to reproduce this unfortunately... We simulated your scenario by using the same recipients as yours, but adding them to our "logsat.com" domain. We tried to guess your settings, but we'll get to that later.

After reconfiguring our network so we could use the sender's IP, and adding "christi@logsat.com" to the unfiltered emails list, this is what we got:

06/22/07 16:14:24:468 -- (3852) Connection from: 81.155.36.31  -  Originating country : N/A
06/22/07 16:14:24:984 -- (3852) Mail from: kafphilacricketfuv@philacricket.com

06/22/07 16:14:25:500 -- (3852) Created thread (7904) to add email to quarantine

As you see, everything is working as it should, and christi@logsat.com is being forwarded the email, while it's being rejected for the others.

What we do see as a difference is that, in your case, the connection was terminated right away after the attempt to webmaster@thisdomain.org:

06/21/07 03:18:57:609 -- (1184) - EmailTO is not in AuthorizedTOEmail list...
06/21/07 03:18:57:625 -- (1184) 81.155.36.31 - Mail from:
mailto:kafphilacricketfuv@philacricket.com - To: mailto:webmaster@thisdomain.org - will be disconnected
06/21/07 03:18:57:625 -- (1184) Blacklist cache - Updated limbo counter for 81.155.36.31
06/21/07 03:18:57:796 -- (1184) SFDB - Added 81.155.36.31 - Response: Error=0
06/21/07 03:18:57:796 -- (1184) Disconnect


The above is did not get quarantined, in your case. However you do have quarantine enabled, as in the other email sample you provided the email was quarantined:

06/21/07 03:19:15:406 -- (540) Starting quarantine procedures
06/21/07 03:19:15:437 -- (540) Created thread (120) to add email to quarantine
06/21/07 03:19:15:609 -- (120) EMail from
mailto:kafpetermannfuv@petermann.com - to mailto:christi@timetorecycle.org - , mailto:david@timetorecycle.org - , mailto:lenny@timetorecycle.org - was received and quarantined. Size: 2 KB, 2048 bytes

I'm not aware there could be any specific setting that would cause this (mis) behavior. Is this happening on other occasions as well? It could be possible that on that one time the sender issued a disconnect before sending the email, and that is why it was never quarantined to begin with (it's wishful thinking, but still possible). If it happened other times as well, if ou could zip us the entire SpamFilter's logfile, we'd like to have a look at the one with the original email addresses.
