Whitelist appears to be a newer file regardless of what the headers
say. It includes more sites in its whitelist. It appears whitelist_rcvd
is obsolete. It's not mentioned on the SARE Rules page.
These were announced on the list about a week ago. Whitelist_from_rcvd.cf
is NEW file.
I see it in the fine print. (That Rules page is getting hard to read.)

Auto-update: Yes
RDJ usage: add "SARE_WHITELIST", "SARE_WHITELIST_SPF",
"SARE_WHITELIST_RCVD", or "SARE_WHITELIST_PRE30"
to TRUSTED_RULESETS (more info).
Available at: http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules/70_sare_whitelist.cf.
This file is suitable for use by SpamAssassin version
3.0.x, or 3.1.0 or higher without network tests.
http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules/70_sare_whitelist_rcvd.cf
and
http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules/70_sare_whitelist_spf.cf.
These two files (new with version 01.00.06) are intended
for SpamAssassin version 3.1.0 or higher, with network and
SPF tests enabled. Any whitelist which can be validated
using SPF will be found in whitelist_spf.cf, and the
remainder are in whitelist_rcvd.cf.
Systems older than 3.1.0 and systems without network tests or
without SPF modules cannot use whitelist_spf.cf, and
therefore should use the primary file above.
http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules/70_sare_whitelist_pre30.cf.
The primary file (listed first above) includes in-line
commenting which is valid in SpamAssassin 3.0.0 and newer,
but wasn't valid in versions 2.5x or 2.6x. Systems with
versions of SpamAssassin older than 3.0.0 should instead
use this version of the file, which has those comment
lines removed.
Note: Please read the internal documentation. Note that since this
file contains whitelist_from_rcvd directives, and not regex-based
rules, this file or extracts from it could be used within an
individual's user_prefs file. Please send recommendations or
complaints to Bob Menschel, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Sample Results: Not available (have not been able to figure out how to
mass-check whitelist rules).
