[SOLVED] welcomelist_from as whitelist_from deprecated!

[zolthar]

I have started trapping some messages for review and found this:

USER_IN_WELCOMELIST     -0.01 User is listed in 'welcomelist_from'
USER_IN_WHITELIST        -100 DEPRECATED: See USER_IN_WELCOMELIST

I found this was implemented in 2020 sometime, however does anyone know when this change would become mandatory as I changed the following and it failed:

root@spam:~# spamassassin --lint
Oct  6 20:37:20.058 [502044] warn: config: failed to parse line, skipping, in "/etc/mail/spamassassin/custom.cf": welcomelist_from_rcvd do_not_reply@sub.coupahost.com amazonses.com
Oct  6 20:37:23.134 [502044] warn: lint: 1 issues detected, please rerun with debug enabled for more information

Is this something that would be updated in the near future? Not that it matters as I can change last minute as there is only a couple dozen whitelist.

Why do I use whitelist_from_rcvd is its easier for me to cut and paste than to manage it in the GUI.

The changes will be in the upcoming SpamAssassin 4.0 - which is currently in rc-phase.

Once a first version is released we'll take a look at how to integrate that with PMG - but until 4.0 is available in the pmg repositories you can stick with your current syntax.

I hope this helps!
