Uh, compiling is optional. I've never bothered, it's fast enough as it is.
I didn't even know it was possible?
Same with SA - just add/remove rules such as:
whitelist_from whitelist_from_rcvd whitelist_from_dkim whitelist_from_spf
I edit the file ".spamassassin/user_prefs" and add them. How do you do it? But I have only used whitelist_from and blacklist_from, I don't know what the others are for (I can guess a bit, though).
As for using "an external dynamically modified list with SA", here's what I do - my whitelist is just an SA ruleset called whitelist.cf (for instance). When I modify it, I copy it to the servers that run SA, and do an "rcspamd reload". (of course this is all automated).
I'd be interesting in learning more details about that ;-)
Anyway, I'm not saying SA is better than your method with procmail, only that it could just as easily be done with SA. I do however think SA does the whitelisting a lot better with whitelist_from_{rcvd,dkim,spf}, but if you don't need that, that's obviously not an advantage.
Yes, that's what I think. I sometimes add rules in procmail to block specific mail bomb raids, though. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
