postfix question - whitelisting


Hi,

Googled a bit for this one but don't think I googled right.

I'm running postfix 1.1.7. I use several rbls for spamfiltering. Normally it all works great but today hotmail got itself listed in sorbs. Not something I'd lose sleep over but one of my friends has to rely on hotmail.

Is there a good and safe way to whitelist preferably just the one addres but if needs be the ip adresses of the hotmail servers?

tnx!

I will never recommend the use of SORBS in my case, many legitimate email were rejected, and that almost cost me the job, this SORBS people are including in to their lists anything. be aware.

Well, with any blacklist, your mileage may vary. The half dozen false positives sorbs gives me each year are balanced by the 50 spams a week that are block by it,
