Well, there is a need and are uses for whitelist_from, specifically when the
other options aren't available. Have a customer who sends you mail, but they
don't have proper rDNS setup nor SPF nor ... ?
The flip side is that a lot of people seem to whitelist their own domain,
which is horribly bad, as discussed already.
So to quote a Bond movie title, never say never. However, I do agree that
whitelist_from should be at the bottom of the list -- try all of the other
ones first. If you want to avoid marking mail from your own users as spam,
don't pass mail from your users to SpamAssassin.
