I suggest upgrading. That's quite ancient...

As Peter said, your whitelist_from works just as expected. The issue is
with *your* custom password rules, both scoring a whopping 100. So the
solution is to fix these rules.
Some more notes: It's generally better to use whitelist_from_rcvd if
possible, and use that unconstrained one only as a last resort. Also,
your custom rules' scores are *way* too high, unless you seriously want
them to act as a kill-switch. In that case, they did as the score asked
for.
And of course, after fixing the custom rules, you will need to correct
(or drop) the AWL entry for that address. As you can see, AWL even tried
to rescue the email, lowering the score significantly. However, as one
can see, too, the average already is quite high (due to triggering the
password rules in the past), so that AWL will *add* points next time
(without tripping over your password rules), unless cleaned.
