At wit's end - SA is *still* tagging list traffic!
All -
I have added these to my local.cf:
whitelist_from_rcvd *@apache.org
But I am still seeing list traffic with spam samples being tagged. Can
someone please tell me what on Earth I need to do to tell SA to ignore
anything on this list? Procmail rules are not an option - I use SA on a
relay server which uses a milter.
Thanks
Thomas

One other thing you might want to consider doing, if you are also using
bayes with autolearn, is add the following entry to your local.cf, so as not
to possibly autolearn spammy text included in SA list messages as ham:
bayes_ignore_to users@spamassassin.apache.org

My last was a typo - the line in local.cf is
whitelist_from_rcvd *@spamassassin.apache.org apache.org
That causes SA to score messages with -100.
Thanks all!

You still need the RDNS entry at this end of this line if you want it to
work properly.

You still have it wrong. That is the syntax for whitelist_from.
Whitelist_from_rcvd takes TWO arguments, not one. That line as you have it
will be ignored.

I was whitelisting apache.org instead of spamassassin.apache.org. I
assumed (bad, I know) that child domains would be covered by
whitelisting the parent domain.
Now my local.cf setting is:
whitelist_from_rcvd *@spamassassin.apache.org
Thanks to all who helped.

1) That's not a valid line, rtm. :)
2) The mails come from spamassassin.apache.org, not apache.org.
You can try something like:
whitelist_from_rcvd *@spamassassin.apache.org apache.org
Other possible issues include not having the envelope sender in the headers,
so SA can't figure out where the mail is actually from, but give the above a
shot first.

See the whitelist_from_rcvd section of:
http://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.0.x/dist/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Conf.html#whitelist_and_blacklist_options
for a description of how to properly use this whitelist feature. I have my
entry setup as follows:
whitelist_from_rcvd *@spamassassin.apache.org apache.org
SpamAssassin List
See if that works for you...
HTH,
Bill
