gnus: Blacklists and Whitelists

 
 9.17.6.1 Blacklists and Whitelists
 ..................................
 
  -- Variable: spam-use-blacklist
 
      Set this variable to ‘t’ if you want to use blacklists when
      splitting incoming mail.  Messages whose senders are in the
      blacklist will be sent to the ‘spam-split-group’.  This is an
      explicit filter, meaning that it acts only on mail senders
      _declared_ to be spammers.
 
  -- Variable: spam-use-whitelist
 
      Set this variable to ‘t’ if you want to use whitelists when
      splitting incoming mail.  Messages whose senders are not in the
      whitelist will be sent to the next spam-split rule.  This is an
      explicit filter, meaning that unless someone is in the whitelist,
      their messages are not assumed to be spam or ham.
 
  -- Variable: spam-use-whitelist-exclusive
 
      Set this variable to ‘t’ if you want to use whitelists as an
      implicit filter, meaning that every message will be considered spam
      unless the sender is in the whitelist.  Use with care.
 
  -- Variable: gnus-group-spam-exit-processor-blacklist
 
      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 spam-marked
      articles will be added to the blacklist.
 
      _WARNING_
 
      Instead of the obsolete ‘gnus-group-spam-exit-processor-blacklist’,
      it is recommended that you use ‘(spam spam-use-blacklist)’.
      Everything will work the same way, we promise.
 
  -- Variable: gnus-group-ham-exit-processor-whitelist
 
      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 whitelist.
 
      _WARNING_
 
      Instead of the obsolete ‘gnus-group-ham-exit-processor-whitelist’,
      it is recommended that you use ‘(ham spam-use-whitelist)’.
      Everything will work the same way, we promise.
 
    Blacklists are lists of regular expressions matching addresses you
 consider to be spam senders.  For instance, to block mail from any
 sender at ‘vmadmin.com’, you can put ‘vmadmin.com’ in your blacklist.
 You start out with an empty blacklist.  Blacklist entries use the Emacs
 regular expression syntax.
 
    Conversely, whitelists tell Gnus what addresses are considered
 legitimate.  All messages from whitelisted addresses are considered
 non-spam.  Also see BBDB Whitelists.  Whitelist entries use the
 Emacs regular expression syntax.
 
    The blacklist and whitelist file locations can be customized with the
 ‘spam-directory’ variable (‘~/News/spam’ by default), or the
 ‘spam-whitelist’ and ‘spam-blacklist’ variables directly.  The whitelist
 and blacklist files will by default be in the ‘spam-directory’
 directory, named ‘whitelist’ and ‘blacklist’ respectively.
