Whitelist issues

Hello all...

This problem may well turn out to be with SpamAssassin,and not with
MailScanner at all, but I thought I would start here. (BTW, just wanted
to indicate my hearty applause for MailScanner and my support for Julian
charging for his services. During my long lurk here, I've been
completely amazed by the level of support he's provided. He deserves to
get paid.)

I'm having a problem with my whitelist. I receive e-mail from Yahoo
Groups frequently, and the File Upload notices from Groups gets
classified (understandably) as spam. The group in question sends from
cmuw-team19 at yahoogroups.com, so I set my /etc/MailScanner.conf as such:

   Is Definitely Not Spam = /etc/MailScanner/rules/spam.whitelist.rules

Then, in rules/spam.whitelist.rules, I added:

   Fromorto                cmuw-team19 at yahoogroups.com     yes


However, these messages are still being tagged as spam. Is this
something that has already been fixed, or do I need to go a-hunting
through code? I'm using mailscanner-4.05-3 on Red Hat 8.0, and
Mail::SpamAssassin version 2.43.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's an example header for a message being so marked:
