Just like what Scott said. What if I create this fromfile and add a negative weight of 20 and a Spam message comes in with a From or
Return address that matches one of the address in the fromfile. Won't it then take 20 points away from the weight of the message?
Yes, it will. That's just a drawback of trying to whitelist based on something that spammers have complete control over. You can't effectively whitelist E-mail based on the return address, without causing extra spam to come through.

I guess the other part of the question was....

What is the order of tests that are executed?

is it...

-Global
-Blacklist
-wordfilter
-fromfile
-ipfilter

or some other order? I ask this because it will determine how I assign the values of the weights.
The first question I need to ask is why you want to know the order -- although they are run in a specific order, it is very rare that the order has any effect on the outcome of the E-mail.
