I received a piece of spam, that had a very large minus score (-79.6)  
When I checked to see why, I saw that the user faked the From and 
Return-Path to be from a domain that I whitelist.  I thought 
SpamAssassin was smart enough to not be fooled by that?  Without that 
100pt adjustment, the spam score would have been 20.4!

Is this a bug in the newest version of SA 2.6.0?
Is this a problem w/ me doing whitelists wrong?
Is there some way to prevent this in future?


thanks,
mark
