Almost,

  whitelist_from_rcvd [EMAIL PROTECTED] sourceforge.net

will work PROVIDED your mail system makes the envelope sender
address available to SA in a form that it understands.

Ordinarily the 'From:' address is checked, but for this list that
is set to the originator of the message and thus unpredictable.
The envelope sender is always the same "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
(most mailing-list systems work this way).

You need to configure your mail system to put the envelope sender address
in one of the following headers before it hands it to SA:

  Envelope-Sender
  Resent-Sender
  X-Envelope-From
  Return-Path
  Resent-From

(see EvalTests.pm for the details).
