whitelist_from_rcvd needs rDNS to be recorded in the Received header on the edge of the trusted network (this is not necessarily your own server). The lack of recorded rDNS is a common reason for failure. There's also a potential complication here that spamass-milter forges a provisional received header for SpamAssassin to use.
