Here's the actual output of the spamassassin header...

Message g7CCsWZ22724 from 207.38.1.8 (lyris.gamespy.com) is spam according
to SpamAssassin (score=24.2, required 7, MSGID_CHARS_SPAM, PLING,
DOUBLE_CAPSWORD, CLICK_BELOW, HTTP_WITH_EMAIL_IN_URL, UNSUB_PAGE,
SUPERLONG_LINE, HTML_WITH_BGCOLOR, BIG_FONT, MAILTO_LINK, TRACKER_ID,
RELAYING_FRAME, JAVASCRIPT, CLICK_HERE_LINK, MIME_EXCESSIVE_QP,
FROM_AND_TO_SAME, CTYPE_JUST_HTML, AWL)


>From this isn't "FROM: lyris.gamespy.com" the correct entry into
spam.whitelist.conf?  Also, the last item is AWL.  Everytime that
mailscanner restarts it  says to autowhitelisting is enabled??
