Hi,
I've whitelisted dropbox so I can use some aggressive rules to block
phishing attacks involving dropbox. The problem I'm now having is
legitimate dropbox accounts are being used to send malware with links
to dropbox accounts to download these malicious files.

This email likely would have been tagged if it wasn't for being
whitelisted by SPF. The language in the body is clearly spam.

Does anyone have any recommendations on how to handle this? I found
this because two of my users reported it. We can report it to dropbox,
but that's after the fact.

Don't whitelist dropbox as a whole. Whitelist specific real dropbox users if you must to get them past SA, on explicit request. This of course depends on the size of your userbase.

Alternatively, write a meta to offset *most* of the negative points from the whitelisting, so that the rest of the rules do still have some chance of having an effect.
