How to whitelist IP addresses or domains in Rspamd

Whitelist IP addresses based on pre-filter policy

/etc/rspamd/local.d/multimap.conf:

  IP_WHITELIST {
      type = "ip";
      prefilter = true;
      map = "/${LOCAL_CONFDIR}/local.d/ip_whitelist.map";
      action = "accept";
  }

/etc/rspamd/local.d/ip_whitelist.map:

  192.168.122.3
  192.168.122.4

Lower spam score of e-mails with a certain domain name (post-filter mode)

/etc/rspamd/local.d/multimap.conf:

  WHITELIST_SENDER_DOMAIN {
      type = "from";
      filter = "email:domain";
      map = "/etc/rspamd/local.d/whitelist.sender.domain.map";
      score = -6.0
  }

/etc/rspamd/local.d/whitelist.sender.domain.map:

  meinedomain.tld
  anderedomain.tld

Hi,

In: /etc/rspamd/local.d/multimap.conf
the prefilter = "true";
should be prefilter = true;
(without quotation marks).

That is how it worked for me. (Version 1.8.3)
Regards,
hiandras

Sorry for the slight offtopic:

Does the rspamc learn_ham only train the bayes filter or does it actually add some whitelisting on its own?

I've just had an email where bayes was 100% sure it wasn't spam, but their other parameters were so bad, it was marked as spam. Does learn_ham help here?

Can the same basic principle be applied for blacklisting IPs?

Yes, have a look here: https://gist.github.com/kvaps/25507a87dc287e6a620e1eec2d60ebc1

No, the learning process does only affect the bayesian filter. If the other parameters were too bad, you can create whitelist that server or tune the corresponding check weight.

I have setup these Whitelist filters, but in the whitelist sender domain file only the first entry is being filtered. The other ones do not seem te get the lower score. Am I doing something wrong?

My config:
/etc/rspamd/local.d/multimap.conf

# Whitelists
local_wl_domain {
        type = "from";
        filter = "email:domain";
        map = "$CONFDIR/local.d/local_wl_domain.map";
        symbol = "LOCAL_WL_DOMAIN";
        regex = true;
        prefilter = true;
        score = -6.0;
        description = "Whitelist map for LOCAL_WL_DOMAIN";
}
local_wl_from {
        type = "from";
        filter = "email:domain:tld";
        map = "$CONFDIR/local.d/local_wl_from.map";
        symbol = "LOCAL_WL_FROM";
        regex = true;
        prefilter = true;
        score = -6.0;
        description = "Whitelist map for LOCAL_WL_FROM";
}
local_wl_ip {
        type = "ip";
        map = "$CONFDIR/local.d/local_wl_ip.map";
        symbol = "LOCAL_WL_IP";
        regex = true;
        prefilter = true;
        score = -6.0;
        description = "Whitelist map for LOCAL_WL_IP";
}
local_wl_rcpt {
        type = "rcpt";
        map = "$CONFDIR/local.d/local_wl_rcpt.map";
        symbol = "LOCAL_WL_RCPT";
        regex = true;
        prefilter = true;
        score = -6.0;

Hi, does /etc/rspamd/local.d/ip_whitelist.map accept cidr notation? I.e. 192.168.122.0/24

HI @Gerben-W,

You have there regex = true; but your file local_wl_domain.map does not look like regexp (eg. dots must be escaped). Either remove regex from your multimap or convert the entries of the map to regex.

eg: match email using regex:
/^user@example\.com$/i

I have setup these Whitelist filters, but in the whitelist sender domain file only the first entry is being filtered. The other ones do not seem te get the lower score. Am I doing something wrong?

My config:
/etc/rspamd/local.d/multimap.conf

        type = "from";
        filter = "email:domain";
        map = "$CONFDIR/local.d/local_wl_domain.map";
        symbol = "LOCAL_WL_DOMAIN";
        regex = true;
        prefilter = true;
        score = -6.0;
        description = "Whitelist map for LOCAL_WL_DOMAIN";

local_wl_from {
        type = "from";
        filter = "email:domain:tld";
        map = "$CONFDIR/local.d/local_wl_from.map";
        symbol = "LOCAL_WL_FROM";
        regex = true;
        prefilter = true;
        score = -6.0;

Is it okay to put v6 IPs in the ip_whitelist.map? Should they be put in brackets?

The docs say it's regexp not regex
See: https://rspamd.com/doc/modules/multimap.html#maps-content

@TonyGravagno

Good catch, @williamdes - It probably would have been better if Booleans were globally regex while actual expressions were regexp, but it's too late to go back.

Thanks, for now this is still not working.
So I would argue that prefilter should be false. It seems to not define a action anyway. But defines a score, that is the second reason to think it should be false.

I am still unsure why it's not working anyway

I am not too sure what to conclude about your reply, I definitely it's regexp since this example on the page you linked: https://rspamd.com/doc/modules/multimap.html#regexp-maps

@TonyGravagno

I'm saying you're right - The code from @Gerben-W has regex and the doc definitely has regexP. So, good on you for catching that.

My comment was only a whimsical lament - I think most of us easily confuse and interchange property values named RegEx or RegexP, etc, just because there is no standard abbreviation. And in Rspamd we see the name, with and without P, used chaotically.

Hello,

How do I put a blocking filter for
real_hostname or from_hostname,

using regex like

mail-yw1-f173.google.com
/^mail-.*google\.com$/i

@TonyGravagno

TonyGravagno commented Mar 20, 2024

@jniltinho This gist is about whitelist/allow, not blacklist/reject. However, blocking is done with a few more parmeters and by specifying the pre-filter map parameter

prefilter = true;
action = "reject";
filter = "real_hostname";

See also Received Filter.
