White List question

[Jim Dickenson]

Have these lines:
# Rulesets directory containing your ".rules" files
%rules-dir% = /etc/MailScanner/rules
Is Definitely Not Spam = %rules-dir%/spam.whitelist.rules

And the files are here:
[ /etc/MailScanner/rules]# ls
EXAMPLES  README  spam.blacklist.rules  spam.whitelist.rules

>> When a person gets an email with these headers:

>> From: United Mileage Plus <MileagePlus at UnitedOffers.com>
>> Reply-To: MileagePlus at UnitedOffers.com

>>         FROM_OFFERS 4.10, HTML_MESSAGE 0.10, RATWARE_HASH_2_V2 1.62)
>> 
>> There is no mention that this address is white listed and
>> thus, as it meets my low spam score, is treated as spam.
>> 
>> I have other addresses listed that are treated correctly so I

>> 
>> Any ideas on what to check would be appreciated.
