[ctw] How does ASSP email interface "assp-black" work

Beginner ASSP v1.8.5.3 question on how ASSP works.

I figured out how to use the ASSP to whitelist an email address by sending an email to: add-to-whitelist@xxxxxxxxxx

And it adds it to the whitelist. Is there a way to view the ASSP whitelist besides the ASSP Web interface?


Anyway, my main question is... It looks like there is a feature where an ASSP admin (and maybe users too?) can use the interface to submit an email to be blacklisted by emailing: assp-black@xxxxxxxxxx

I gave it a try and got an email that says:

pcworld@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx: added to blackListedDomains addresses


But is ASSP supposed to actually add the email address or domain (pcworld@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) to the ASSP file located at: file:files/ blackdomains.txt ?

It doesn't seem to for me and I'm not sure if it is even supposed to.


And I have the same question on forwarding a spam email to: report- spam@xxxxxxxxxx

I can forward an spam to report-spam@xxxxxxxxxx and get a message back saying "Thank you for reporting."

But is there somewhere in ASSP I can see what ASSP did with the forwarded spam email and it's address? Did it add it to it's list of known spammer email addresses?
