Hello Spamassassin Gurus!
I have the spam email, showing that it was sent from our user (from
ersin@edpausa.com to ersin@edpausa.com) How do I whitelist the spam
email like this one?

I copied the header for you convenience.

I suspect you mean how do you not whitelist the spam.

The answer is simple. do not use whitelist_from, for anything. It is
particularly important to not do this for your own domain.

Use whitelist_from_rcvd instead, which takes a second parameter that
checks a substring of the server name in the Received: headers. This
makes it reasonably resistant to forgery.

see man Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf for more details on whitelist_from_rcvd
and its syntax.

If that's not clear, please feel free to ask further questions on the list.
