Duh.

I do not understand this, how does this work?

It's a little clearer if the order is reversed...

   blacklist_from          *@amazon.com

If a mail claims to be from an amazon.com address, add a large score (I disremember what it is offhand; 50 points?)

   whitelist_auth          *@amazon.com

If a mail claims to be from an amazon.com address, and it passas SPF or has a valig signature for that domain, then add -100 to the score.

The net result is, any mail claiming to be from amazon.com is blacklisted, unless it *actually comes from* amazon.com.


But, as Bill noted, it doesn't help with this case, as it doesn't claim to be from amazon.com:

  From: Amazon <p...@biggung1892301.com>

Sorry, I lost track of that nuance.

That could be captured by the above whitelist_auth, plus a "from name" rule:

  header FM_NAME_AMAZON  From:name =~ /^amazon(?:.com\b|$)/i
  score  FM_NAME_AMAZON  10

That's a poison pill by itself, but the whitelist_auth entry would override it for genuine Amazon emails.

Note, poison pill rules are generally a bad idea.
