Ahaa, yes I see.  I got sucked into thinking the _from part was
really about From: 

I'd hazzard a guess that many people have.  Maybe time to include
something indicating it isn't particularly related to actual From
field but `From' in the sense that it comes `From' somewhere.

It might also be cogent to note that `whitelist_to' *IS* directly
related to the actual To: (and Cc) field.  So again it seems almost
gauranteed that whitelist_from will be missunderstood.
Note further that whitelist_to, it seems then, would not be usefull
for the spam_a lists since it never appears in To: and may or may not
appear in Cc:
