That is true, SA 2.60 and higher do include def_whitelist_from_rcvd
statements in the default rules.

However, that's not relevant, as those will not generate USER_IN_WHITELIST>

Perhaps I was not sufficiently specific in my original statement...

I said that USER_IN_WHITELIST will ONLY result from matching a
whitelist_from or whitelist_from_rcvd command.

I meant that as a complete, exact list of the only two commands which may
result in this rule match.

This explicitly excludes any def_whitelist_from_rcvd rules.

Any def_whitelist_from_rcvd matches will show up as USER_IN_DEF_WHITELIST.
They will not show up as USER_IN_WHITELIST.
