the from address can be as easily faked as the to address. I have seen on
this mailing list many reports from users whitelisting their own address
somehow and thus getting false positives.

What you are searching for, is whitelist_from_rcvd which combined from
address with address of mailserver the mail was received from, or better,
whitelist_auth, if the outgoing domain supports SPF (sellermail.com does
not...)
