Description Jeff R 2003-10-10 12:00:33 UTC 
whitelist'ing will not work if the email is forwarded from another 
mailserver.  This has been tested that if a message arrives for hosta.com and 
hosta.com forwards the message to hostb.com and hostb.com filters the 
message , there will be a Resent-From: mail tag which is where the message was 
forwarded from.

this then causes spamassassin to not know which address to know to whitelist.

If a message is sent directly to the account then whitelist will work.

What can be done about this?
