whitelist_from_rcvd question (and more n+1 rules that score 6 points)

Seems zixmail has not only decided to bastardize 'email' off the net, 
but now, when informing someone they got one, makes suck bad freeking 
headers that SA wants to tag it spam. take the bayes credit out and you 
have 8 points on a legit email.
(wern't we talking about ruls that score > 3 points? we have two of them 
ahain)

Yes, score=6.047 tag=-999 tag2=6 kill=6 tests=[BAYES_00=-1.9, FROM_MISSP_DKIM=0.001, FROM_MISSP_EH_MATCH=3.007, FROM_MISSP_REPLYTO=0.289, HTML_MESSAGE=0.001, NO_REAL_NAME=1, RELAY_COUNTRY_US=0.001, TDE_WS_HS_KOMBINATION=0.2, TO_NO_BRKTS_FROM_MSSP=3.448]


so, in the interests of being friendly, will this work?

whitelist_from_rcvd *@* smtpout.zixmail.net

(no, they don't have spf :-) and even if they did, it would not work 
anyway since they 'forge' the email address of the sender's domain.

I'm adjusting those rules a bit.

It should.

Perhaps that should go in the default whitelist. Open a bug?
