I am using version 14.1 (20090826).  Some entries from my whitelist are being ignored and tagged as SPAM.

My filter priority is:

Directory Harvesting
IP Whitlist
Keyword Whitelist
Email\Domain\Auto Whitlist
SPF
Phishing
SpamRazer
Blacklist
DNS Blacklists
DPM URI
Bayesian
Header Checking
Keyword Checking

My autowhitelist.mdb is 4676 kb.

I've tried rebooting the server and restarting IIS.

Actually, I have an additional problem.  GFI is tagging email as SPAM, but the mail is still arriving in users' Inbox.

grimal,

Which module is blocking the spam?

What actions have you configured on this module?

Hi guys,

My customer is also having such issue. Currently using ME version 14.1 (20090826). External sender needs to conduct a survey to XXX company staffs. Therefore, sender sends to all sender within the company.

First, it was blocked by SpamRazer. Then putting the sender's domain into Domain Whitelist and scanned by Bayesian. Blocked email then put into pickup folder then arrive at all user's mailbox.

Secondly, another different sender (from same domain whitelisted) send another survey to HR department. It was blocked by Bayesian this time. Blocked email then put into pickup folder then arrive at all user's mailbox.

Ip Whitelist and Email\Domain\Auto Whitelist is at the top.Why it doesn't work?

Please help...

Similar problem here, Whitelist is 2 and header checking is 12 prioity

header checking action is forward to emailaddress

I have both the sender and receiver whitelisted, but header checking keeps catching it. It ends up in Qtine in Mailsecurity, I release it and Mailessentials gets it again, header checking and it keeps looping back and forward.

Why is my whitelist being ignored, since 14.1


Regards

Is the MIME TO: blank by any chance?  The whitelist is ignored in 14.1 if the MIME TO: is blank - confirmed bug in 14.1 by GFI.  See http://forums.gfi.com/fb.aspx?m=900780318

Hi all,

There is a patch you can try to resolve this issue:
http://ftp.gfisoftware.com/patches/me14/20090826/ME141_PATCH_20090917_01.zip

This patch should be applied to installations of the following
builds of GFI MailEssentials 14.1 and above:

-> 20090826

Issues fixed:

1. This patch fixes an issue whereby the Whitelist entries are ignored and
antispam filtering is still performed.

2. The MailEssentials Scan Engine crashes whilst processing the Whitelist
entries.

I encourage anyone who experiences the issues noted above to install this patch.

I have this same issue after upgrading to 14.1 20090826. I opened a support case, received the whitelist.dll patch and have just applied it. I'm wondering if anyone can confirm the patch has fixed the issue for them.

Thanks.

I applied ME14.1 this week and am experiencing the same issue where the whitelist is ignored and header checking (12) is causing issues, especially with what the code thinks are malformed MIME From: field which in many cases are formed properly. I applied the patch from the link above and it does not fix the issue.

I am having to forward the messages from header checking to my address and then forward legitimate messages to the normal recipient.

The patch is actually only for the whitelist problems. Post #6 by AndrewZT has the notes that describe what is in the patch.

However, I also had issues with the SMTP and MIME TO mismatch detecting things incorrectly. A simple message I sent from an outside webmail account, to the same webmail account, but CC my work account, was filtered by MailEssentials as an SMTP and MIME TO mismatch.

I got the following note from GFI tech support about it:

quote:

There is a known issue with the header checking module that is causing the MIME/SMTP To mismatch. The fix is going to be released in SR1 which is tentatively scheduled for next Tues. You can disable this option in header checking til then if it is blocking legit messages.


I have disabled the option in header checking for now...

Yes, I realize the patch is only for the whitelist problems. I have entries in the whitelist that are still being ignored after applying the patch and the anti-spam filtering is still being performed.

You may have better luck if you can open a support case, if you haven't yet. When I called support and got the whitelist patch last week they advised to call back if there were further whitelist problems and it would be escalated. Our whitelist problems were intermittent to begin with but I don't have a report of them recurring yet.

Hi,

are there any news about this problem? We are using ME 14.1 RC3 (20091123) but still emails are handeled as spam (Header filter).

The whitelists have the priority 4 (IP), 6 (domain, email, auto) and 7 (keyword)
Header checks priority is 12!

The mails that fail are the reports of a cron job, I added the address to the whitelist by copying the mail to the public folder "GFI Whitelist", I can see "root@XXXXX.domain.de" in the whitelist settings of the ME configuration (so it was added successfully).

Could it be that the "from" in the header causes the problem (I only changed the domain name, the parentheses and order was not touched)?

From: root@XXXXX.domain.de (Cron Daemon)

Hi Zenetti,

Please try adding the same email address as "SMTP FROM" entry in the whitelist and check if the same email is being stopped.

Hi Roger,

Thanks for the tip, adding it to SMTP FROM worked for me.

But I still got two questions:

Why did the automatism not use SMTP FROM, when I moved the Mail to the public folder "Add to Whitelist"?

I included the complete header of a mail that did not work with MIME FROM below. Can you explain please the difference between MIME FROM and SMTP FROM and why the automatism did fail, thanks.
