gnus: BBDB Whitelists
9.17.6.2 BBDB Whitelists
........................
-- Variable: spam-use-BBDB
Analogous to ‘spam-use-whitelist’ (Blacklists and
Whitelists), but uses the BBDB as the source of whitelisted
addresses, without regular expressions. You must have the BBDB
loaded for ‘spam-use-BBDB’ to work properly. Messages whose
senders are not in the BBDB will be sent to the next spam-split
rule. This is an explicit filter, meaning that unless someone is
in the BBDB, their messages are not assumed to be spam or ham.
-- Variable: spam-use-BBDB-exclusive
Set this variable to ‘t’ if you want to use the BBDB as an implicit
filter, meaning that every message will be considered spam unless
the sender is in the BBDB. Use with care. Only sender addresses
in the BBDB will be allowed through; all others will be classified
as spammers.
While ‘spam-use-BBDB-exclusive’ _can_ be used as an alias for
‘spam-use-BBDB’ as far as ‘spam.el’ is concerned, it is _not_ a
separate back end. If you set ‘spam-use-BBDB-exclusive’ to ‘t’,
_all_ your BBDB splitting will be exclusive.
-- Variable: gnus-group-ham-exit-processor-BBDB
Add this symbol to a group’s ‘spam-process’ parameter by
customizing the group parameters or the
‘gnus-spam-process-newsgroups’ variable. When this symbol is added
to a group’s ‘spam-process’ parameter, the senders of ham-marked
articles in _ham_ groups will be added to the BBDB.
_WARNING_
Instead of the obsolete ‘gnus-group-ham-exit-processor-BBDB’, it is
recommended that you use ‘(ham spam-use-BBDB)’. Everything will
work the same way, we promise.
