USER_IN_WHITELIST ??

I've recently discovered a couple of emails tagged by SA (v3.2.1-gr1)
with USER_IN_WHITELIST and assigned score components of -100 accordingly
according to 50_scores.cf on the basis of a call to
eval:check_from_in_whitelist() in 60_whitelist.cf.

I would assume that this would only be possible if I had configured
'whitelist_from xxxxxxx' in my user prefs (which are stored in a MySQL
database), but I have no such settings, so I don't have a manual
whitelist as described at
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/ManualWhitelist.

On the other hand, both errant addresses _were_ in my AWL database which
should assign a much smaller (possibly positive) spam score, and
shouldn't evoke a hit on USER_IN_WHITELIST.

Am I missing something here, or is this a SA bug?

Whitelists and blacklists are independent, ie: no "precedence" involved.
You could have both hit on a message for a +100 - 100 = 0 total shift.

Matt, looks like you hit that target on this.  There are tons of
whitelist_from_rcvd directives in /etc/spamassassin/70_sare_whitelist.cf
including the problem addresses.  I'll need to figure out a way to
override these.  Does blacklist_from take precedence over whitelist_from
or whitelist_from_rcvd?

Thanks!

What about whitelist_from_rcvd, or whitelist_from_spf?

Do you have any whitelist commands at the site config level (ie:
local.cf or add-on rulesets)?

try a run of this:
     grep whitelist /etc/mail/spamassassin/*.cf
