I tried the whitelist_from_rcvd and when running Spamassassin -D --lint
it complained.  Here is what I wound up with that didn't complain.

# email whitelisting
# whitelist_from [email protected]

whitelist_from [email protected]

# domain whitelisting
# whitelist_from example.com

whitelist_from *@ebay.com


Thanks,

CJ
