As I was manually going through my spamfolder this evening I ran across a 
message from my son that was tagged as spam. I have a manual whitelist .cf 
file in /etc/mail/spamassassin and he is in the whitelist:

whitelist_from  Brian Pollock <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

The from message header shows I've entered the right address:

From: Brian Pollock <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

I don't even see where a whitelist entry was checked:

0.0 DK_POLICY_SIGNSOME     Domain Keys: policy says domain signs some mails
 0.0 DK_POLICY_TESTING      Domain Keys: policy says domain is testing DK
 0.0 DK_SIGNED              Domain Keys: message has an unverified signature
-0.0 DK_VERIFIED            Domain Keys: signature passes verification
 1.5 BE_BOSS                BODY: Be your own boss
 0.0 HTML_MESSAGE           BODY: HTML included in message
 1.0 BAYES_50               BODY: Bayesian spam probability is 40 to 60%
                            [score: 0.5000]
 1.4 HTML_10_20             BODY: Message is 10% to 20% HTML
 0.2 DNS_FROM_RFC_ABUSE     RBL: Envelope sender in abuse.rfc-ignorant.org
 1.4 DNS_FROM_RFC_WHOIS     RBL: Envelope sender in whois.rfc-ignorant.org
 1.7 DNS_FROM_RFC_POST      RBL: Envelope sender in
                            postmaster.rfc-ignorant.org
 1.0 SAGREY                 Adds 1.0 to spam from first-time senders

Another non-spam message I've received that I have the from address in my 
whitelist was tagged correctly:

whitelist_from  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

X-Spam-Status: No, score=-102.7 required=5.0 tests=AWL,BAYES_00,
        DATE_IN_PAST_96_XX,DCC_CHECK,NO_REAL_NAME,USER_IN_WHITELIST 
        autolearn=disabled version=3.1.5

BTW, this was from a message of 5 Oct, I've upgraded to 3.1.7 tonight.

Was it not checked because of the syntax of the whitelist_from? 

whitelist_from  Brian Pollock <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
vs
whitelist_from  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

For him I have his name as well as his email address < >

Or am I screwed up here?
