Hi all, I removed the commas as per matts suggestion but the
whitelist_from line in my ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs file still doesn't
seem to work

Heres the line in my user_prefs file:

whitelist_from root* Super-User

heres the mail header after SA:

>From root  Thu Jan  1 15:39:58 2004
Received: (from [EMAIL PROTECTED])
        by host.domain.com (8.11.6+Sun/8.11.6) id i01Ndud00192
        for root; Thu, 1 Jan 2004 15:39:56 -0800 (PST)
Date: Thu, 1 Jan 2004 15:39:56 -0800 (PST)
From: Super-User <root>
Message-Id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: root
Subject: Your crontab file has an error in it
Content-Type: text

X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.61 (1.212.2.1-2003-12-09-exp) on
        host.domain.com
X-Spam-Level: *****
X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=5.5 required=5.0 tests=MIME_HEADER_CTYPE_ONLY,
        MSGID_FROM_MTA_SHORT,TO_MALFORMED autolearn=no version=2.61
X-Spam-Report:
        *  0.3 TO_MALFORMED To: has a malformed address
        *  3.3 MSGID_FROM_MTA_SHORT Message-Id was added by a relay
        *  1.9 MIME_HEADER_CTYPE_ONLY 'Content-Type' found without
required MIME headers

Your "crontab" on pacifica

....... etc





So you can see the mail is still not getting handled correctly, I have
another whitelist_from entry after this one and it works fine, is there
something different about the root is handled by SA
