You've got mail from spamazon.de! Spamassassin didn't catch it cuz
it's whitelisted!

I agree that we shouldn't be adding to the whitelist. False positives
do happen though with companies in the whitelist, but we should be
careful with whom we add to the list.

Perhaps instead of a whitelist, we should do a Recieved: header check
for these sites to ensure legitimacy.
