250601 - LDAP directory (or query) SPAM filter whitelist

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 180012

(Thunderbird :: Preferences, enhancement)

Description

[Brian Cain]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.8

I would like to be able to exclude senders listed in an LDAP directory from
consideration by Thunderbird's spam/junk mail filter.  I understand that the
"From:" field in an unsigned message is not reliable, but would rather take
those false negative cases than the false positive matches that Thunderbird
currently generates.

Allowing an LDAP query (or queries) junk mail flag exclusion would be an
excellent way to prevent against any mistagged mail for organizations with an
LDAP server.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send message from legitimate correspondent with enough SPAM-ish keywords to
recipient using Thunderbird.
2. Have recipient check mail w/Thunderbird.
3. Frown at the lost time spent poring over the "Spam" folder.
