I'm afraid that your reading of SOX compliance is not widely practiced.
If you block an E-mail, and it is never received by a person covered by
SOX, then there is no reason to archive it. SOX in fact essentially
requires that spam and virus blocking services be utilized in order to
help secure sensitive information by preventing such messages and their
exploitable code and/or social engineering techniques from reaching
end-users.
If you think of this in the same light as paper documents (which also of
course need to be kept on hand when governed by SOX and many other
regulations), it would be absurd to keep copies of junk postal mail
along with legitimate business communications. Unsolicited bulk
commercial E-mail, viruses and scams that never reach an end-user are
surely not the equivalent of an business communication under any regulation.

I did remove the whitelist to.
I went back to using the masterbkup.junkmail file and just setting all
actions to ignore.
I just wanted to know what had caused this, so in the future it
doesn't happen again.
Thanks!

You're required to archive spam? I can't imagine that. I
would remove the WHITELIST TO.
Note that if any of the recipients are whitelisted, then all will
effectively be whitelisted for that message.
