Whitelist web form e-mails {Scanned}

I take it that you're now receiving the emails from the web form, correct?
Your web form email was triggering several SpamAssassin tests. The worst two
were:
FORGED_RCVD_NET_HELO 4.10:
header FORGED_RCVD_HELO eval:check_for_forged_received_hel
describe FORGED_RCVD_HELO Received: contains a forged HELO
MSGID_FROM_MTA_SHORT 3.03:
header MSGID_FROM_MTA_SHORT eval:mta_added_message_id('short'
describe MSGID_FROM_MTA_SHORT Message-Id was added by a relay
You'd have to work through the SpamAssassin code to see exactly what header
setting in you web form created header layout triggered the problem, but I
suspect that the web form's use of the sender's email address in the From:
filed in a message (apparently) from your web server is the root of the
problem.
