is it possible to exclude a set of users from the spam filtering?
I know its possible with spam assasin using the whitelist_to or all_spam_to commands, however when i put those into /etc/spamassisan/local.cf it does not respect those settings...
any help?
Use Config -> Email -> From-Safe List. If you enter them there, they will bypadd checking. You can also block a whole domain there with *@iliketheiremails.com.

so i double-checked that solution...
does not seem to work, What i need is to have any email that comes inbound to a specific user not be blocked/marked/quarantined regardless of spam score.
the idea being that this user would receive all emails on that address
Oh. Usually its the other way around. I can't think of anything really functional off the top of my head. The only things that come to mind (and I can't get a decent handle on them right now) are to somehow have that one user associated with SSL mail (which we ignore), or having that one user associated with a non-standard port (which we would ignore) and have a process on the mail server take traffic for port <not 25> and reroute it back to port 25. Since mail is generally handled for all users and not differently for different people, you've got an interesting challenge.
What you might do is to file an enhancement request at http://bugzilla.untangle.com to add a "To-Safe List" to go along with the existing "From-Safe List." I really don't know how widespread the user interest would be in what you're asking, but plant the seed. Those who need it could vote for it as well, and enhancements get prioritized (to a certain degree) by value, perceived need and user interest.
