SA processes all mails sent to it(*), so if mails aren't being processed,
you're probably not sending them to SA.


(*) - if using spamc, it will skip sending messages > 250k to spamd

I dont have whitelist option in my local.cf file, I even added blacklist_to
goo@mydomain.org but to no avail.

The one and only reason to this is that you have whitelisted your own domain in your MTA, or by writing "whitelist *.mydomain.org" in your /etc/spamassassin/local.cf or some other SA configuration file.
