Indeed you are right about things not adding up.

I ran spamassassin --lint and got no output, implying no problems with the
rules.

I then ran the message through sa with -D. SA parsed all the "froms" and
boiled them down (correctly) to [EMAIL PROTECTED] It even noted the forged
HELO, but still it gave the Whitelist_from 100 pt. credit.

OK, I thought, since SA is probably working fine, it must be my whitelist. I
temporarily culled all the whitelist_from's from local.cf and ran the
message through spamassassin -D. Eureka! No whitelist credit, and the
message was correctly identified as spam.

After a much more thorough examination of my rules, I found the culprit:

whitelist_from    *cnet.com

insted of

whitelist_from  [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Zapped by a missing "@".

Thanks everyone for your comments, especially Matt whose suggestions got me
to a fix.
