Whitelist not working...

Hello,

In an attempt to always allow emails from particular domains, I have added
the following lines into "/etc/spamassassin/local.cf":

def_whitelist_from_rcvd  *@inmac.co.uk       inmac.co.uk
def_whitelist_from_rcvd  *@Inmac.co.uk       Inmac.co.uk
def_whitelist_from_rcvd  *@domain.co.jp     domain.co.jp

But, they are being ignored. Any ideas?

Also, are they case sensitive? i.e. if I always allow *@inmac.co.uk will it
block *@Inmac.co.uk as well?

Thanks in advance,
Richard.

Hello,

Here are the headers of one of the emails from a receipient in the
whitelist. I have replaced sensitive information with <HIDDEN> and @ symbols
with [at] in case this gets archived anywhere.

What does one of the Received: headers look like? My guess is if you're having
problems with them matching it's the rcvd part.

Either that or the From: is in a non-matching format, ie:
 richard@server.inmac.co.uk

They are case insensitive.
