Hello,

I noticed that after upgrading spamassassin to the latest (in ports) 
version, manual whitelist is somehow broken.
In previous version spamassassin detects without a problem forged "From" 
headers and even with "whitelist_from *@domain.com"
mails that are spam got caught.

With the latest version of spamassassins the following example will not 
be detected as spam:

 >telnet mailserver-spamprotected.com 25
 >helo somedomain.com
 >mail from: spoof at somedomain.com
 >rcpt to: validuser at mailserver-spamprotected.com
 >data
From: validuser at mailserver-spamprotected.com
some spam xxx.
.
 >quit

In this case whitelist_from *@mailserver-spamprotected.com is triggered, 
and I'm pretty sure that wasn't a case in older versions of spamassassin.

Any ideas what is changed, and how I can restored the old behavior.
