Messages being tagged as spam

[Gib Gilbertson Jr.]

Hi All.

I've got a few messages being tagged as spam and can't for the life of me
figure out why. Here is the message header, and the appropriate entry from
my /SpamAssassin/rules/spam.whitelist.rules file.

----------

Entry from spam.whitelist.rules (there are tab delimiters in the file)

From:  @needitnow.com.au  yes

-----------

My understanding of the workings say that this should be marked as exempt
and not even scanned. Am I wrong?

I do see some things exempted and others not. Do we need an * in front of
the @domain.ext?

Thanks

gib
