spam.assassin.prefs.conf whitelist/blackist

[Stephe Campbell]

Curious enough today, someone mentioned the whitelist, blacklist entries in
spam.assassin.prefs.conf just about the time I had considered a question
about these also.

Can I assume that these differ from the MS whitelist/blacklist entries in
MS.conf rulesets in that they look through all To:/From: of the headers
instead of just the envelop information?

If this is so, what does MS do with something blacklisted in the
spam.assassin.prefs.conf (SAPC) when this is triggered?

I'm having a little trouble blocking things that are saying they are from
someone in our domains, but are not. So I guess the envelop is saying From:
####@cnpapers.com but is really from another IP/domain.
