Yep, it is.  it already is documented:

'=item whitelist_from_rcvd addr@lists.sourceforge.net sourceforge.net
...
This string is matched against the reverse DNS lookup used during the handover
from the internet to your internal network's mail exchangers.'

this should be clearer, though.  checked into trunk:

: jm 114...; svn commit -m "clarify documentation to note clearly that MXes must
perform DNS name resolution, for whitelist_from_rcvd to work"
lib/Mail/SpamAssassin/Conf.pm
Sending        lib/Mail/SpamAssassin/Conf.pm
Transmitting file data .
Committed revision 560957.

and b320 as a trivial doc fix:

: jm 85...; svn commit -m "clarify documentation to note clearly that MXes must
perform DNS name resolution, for whitelist_from_rcvd to work"
lib/Mail/SpamAssassin/Conf.pm
Sending        lib/Mail/SpamAssassin/Conf.pm
Transmitting file data .
Committed revision 560956.

hm. that reaction might be a little OTT ;)
