spam emails sent by bots using Amazon SES servers are getting through
because i have amazonses.com in my whitelist due to several "important

How does this rule work, to separate the "Received: ", versus the "From: "  ?

the header "From: " is NOT in my whitelist,
but the value of "Amazonses.com" IS IN my whitelist

why is it using the value from the header "Received: " and not the
value from the header "From: " ?

SPF is designed to work over envelope addresses - those that are stored in headers like Envelope-From, Return-Path, X-Envelope-From.

how can I improve the spam filtering?

be very careful about using welcomelist, especially wildcards
