[SAtalk] whitelist_from_rcvd

[Martin McWhorter]

I am having a problem with whitelist_from_rcvd not working.

I have Spamassassin running on a redhat 9 box with sendmail 8.12.8 as 
our companies gateway MTA. I have MIMEdefang running as well, but with 
the Spamassassin portion of the defang.conf commented out and 
spamassassin running with the spamass-milter.

Our imap mailboxes are hosted internaly on an NT box running Iplanet 
4.15 named mercury. All mail in and out goes through the 
sendmail-spamassassin MTA.

In the spamassasin conf I have:

whitelist_from_rcvd     [EMAIL PROTECTED]     mercury.prairiegroup.com

I restart spamd and send a message to my yahoo account. The headers look 
like this:

*X-Apparently-To:* [EMAIL PROTECTED] via 66.163.169.17; Mon, 17

There is no USER_WHITELIST on the X-Spam-Status.

If I use 'whitelist_from' instead of 'whitelist_from_rcvd' it works 
fine, but opens us up to forged 'from' headers.

Any Idea what I am doing wrong?
