Maybe it's an Italian problem ( :- )) , but I had the same solution used by munafo' into my mailscanner configuration.
Now your solution it's a simple breakout for the problem, but I have to add 52 rules to my configuration and their maintenance it's not so
simple as my university network sometimes change without any advise to me....

Could be a simpler solution create two files for the spam whitelisting ? One  file for the To addresses check and one file for the From
addresses ?

So I could leave the "from" whitelist as now and the "to" whitelist without any domain listed.
