This should be:

whitelist_auth *@*.us-cert.gov

which will be triggered by SPF_PASS or DKIM_VALID_AU.

Normally there should be other good rules that would subtract
points to get it down below the 5.0 or 6.0 block threshold.  See
the SA mailing list archives for my other postings about shortcircuit
rules that allow trusted senders like this one to pass through allowing
the KAM_*, BAYES_99, etc. with high scores to block more based on
content rather than reputation which is what that BOTNET rule did
incorrectly.  The whitelist_auth entry will bypass those rules now.
