Good Day,

Just upgraded to 4.40 and I see that this issue is still there.  So I
thought I'd clarify a bit of what I'm seeing, there's really only one
scenario where this becomes an issue:

- User has an individual address on their whitelist: username at domain.com
- User has the domain on their blacklist: *@domain.com
- System is configured to want SA headers

What's happening currently is the message gets flagged as on the
whitelist so the $iswhitelisted value gets set positive, but then it
gets flagged as spam as well when it does the blacklist check.  While
not a huge issue, it becomes somewhat confusing to the end user.

I've worked around it locally by just extending the if (!$iswhitelisted)
check to include the blacklist check in Message.pm
