If there's no [EMAIL PROTECTED] on your system, why is USER_IN_WHITELIST 
being triggered?  You don't appear to be using Bayes (no BAYES_nn 
test) so by my calculation, this message would have scored 15.884 
without the USER_IN_WHITELIST hit.  What's your reject threshold?

I know this doesn't directly address your question about detecting 
non-local e-mail addresses in From:, but if the ultimate problem is 
that such messages are making it through your filter, then 
configuring SpamAssassin properly might be easier than adding 
complexity to your Sendmail configuration.
