Just checked in a fix -- it actually worked OK before the fix as long as you hadn't run make test 
before.  The problem was that the nice message's score was not low enough to correct for the 
higher score of the spam message with the new 2.30 scores file.  I've added some nonspam 
characteristics to the nice test message, so it should now work better.  You'll probably need to 
remove the test name from your autowhitelist.db to remedy things:

# echo -e 'From whitelist_test@whitelist.spamassassin.taint.org' | spamassassin -R

Subject: Re:  "make test" failure on whitelist

(I've never tried replying to one of these before -- tell me if I 
shouldn't do it again.)
