The whitelist_from won't work because the email addres is simply "root" and
doesn't include a domain name.  Therefore, you must create your own custom
rule in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf:

header CHARLIE_ROOT     From =~ /Charlie Root/i
describe CHARLIE_ROOT   From is Charlie Root
score  CHARLIE_ROOT     -100.0


Now it will get thru.
