The thing with noobs and whitelist_from (according to my experience on
this list) appears to be a lack of reading. I got the impression most of
them just blindly whitelist_from their own domain to be on the safe
side, without any prior investigation and usually without any need.
Agreed, and if they aren't reading the documentation carefully enough to
see the warnings about using whitelist_from, then they probably aren't
running a lint either...
However, if emitting a warning in lint saves having some "why are spams
hitting USER_IN_WHITELIST??" messages sent to the list, it's probably
worth doing.
