In this specific case,the list is a list of known domains that will pass 
whitelist_auth, which means you can blacklist them and when they pass auth, 
they magically get through.

As Dave Pooser posted:
whitelist_auth *@bankofamerica.com
blacklist_from *@bankofamerica.com

I score blacklist_from at 80 points so an address that's both blacklisted and 
whitelisted will be effectively whitelisted, thanks to a net -20 score

When BOA sends an email, it hits the blacklist and gets a score of +80, but if 
the mail passes whitelist_auth (meaning it’s really from BOA), then it gets a 
-100. So anyone who is not BOA ends up with a score of +80. It doesn’t matter 
how many random domains they create.

and when BOA makes a mistake in their DNS (typo in the SPF as it happens way too often ending in PERMERROR which is *not* a reason for a reject) or other DNS issues are happening you would block all legit mail

in other words: you make your mailserver to a gambling machine with such rules as long it's not for domains you maintain and can be sure that DNS works unconditionally (no internet and foreign ISP involved)
