Whitelist Email Subject with SpamAssassin

Whitelisting email subjects in SpamAssassin involves configuring the spam filter to treat emails with specific subjects as non-spam or "whitelisted."

This customization is useful when certain emails with predetermined subjects are consistently marked as false positives and end up in the spam folder. By whitelisting these subjects, users can ensure that emails containing them are recognized as legitimate and not flagged as spam.

Here, we cover how to whitelist specific subjects in SpamAssassin.
