I agree with this -- SPF_PASS isn't usable as a whitelist since the whole
goal of SPF is to have spammers stop forging, and therefore switch from
SPF_FAIL to SPF_PASS.

I don't know about "required" (we can't force these places to use
SPF), but if SPF exists we should definitely use it for the whitelist.
Perhaps we should modify whitelist_from_rcvd that instead of specifying
the Received header we can specify a rulename (ala SPF_PASS)?  Well,
it should have a new whitelist name, but it's the idea really ... ;)

Without that, perhaps a meta rule ala:

meta DEF_WL_FORGED      USER_IN_DEF_WHITELIST && SPF_FAIL

this is the same idea, but doesn't require SPF records to exist at
the start.
