When did that change?
Quoting from the docs for Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf it used to be:

   The headers checked for whitelist addresses are as follows: if "Resent-From" 
is set, use that; otherwise check all
   addresses taken from the following set of headers:

          Envelope-Sender
          Resent-Sender
          X-Envelope-From
          From

   In addition, the "envelope sender" data, taken from the SMTP envelope data 
where this is available, is looked up.

I distinctly remember setting up def_whitelist_from_rcvd entries to work
with envelope from addresses for "listwashing".
