Hi all, we got a natwest spam through this morning that should not have
got through. Here is the spam test results
Content analysis details:   (-77.6 points, 6.0 required)
 0.3 FROM_ENDS_IN_NUMS      From: ends in numbers
 1.6 HTML_60_70             BODY: Message is 60% to 70% HTML
 1.4 MIME_HTML_ONLY         BODY: Message only has text/html MIME parts
 0.7 HTML_MESSAGE           BODY: HTML included in message
 0.1 HTML_FONTCOLOR_UNSAFE  BODY: HTML font color not in safe 6x6x6
palette
 1.6 HTML_IMAGE_ONLY_02     BODY: HTML: images with 0-200 bytes of words
 2.0 SARE_HEXOCTDWORD       URI: Uses an encoded IP address
 7.8 HTTP_EXCESSIVE_ESCAPES URI: Completely unnecessary %-escapes inside
a URL
 6.8 HTTP_ESCAPED_HOST      URI: Uses %-escapes inside a URL's hostname
-100 USER_IN_WHITELIST      From: address is in the user's white-list
 0.1 RCVD_IN_SORBS          RBL: SORBS: sender is listed in SORBS
                            [195.174.36.203 listed in dnsbl.sorbs.net]

Now the user in whitelist must have come about because of the following
entry in out local.cf 

whitelist_from rcvd [EMAIL PROTECTED] rbs.co.uk

I am obviously misunderstanding the way whitelist_from_rcvd works
because I thought it checked the domain of the sending server with a dns
lookup. This is the header from the email

Received: from [195.174.36.203] (helo=MELIH)

So how come this got whitelisted ?
