This is conclusively *NOT* 70_sare_whitelist.cf, or any other spamassassin-level
whitelisting. Those would show up as a SpamAssassin rule-hit of USER_IN_WHITELIST.

The "is whitelisted" message means it's whitelisted at the MailScanner level, as
a part of the MailScannner.conf "Is Definitely Not Spam" mechanism, or some bug
in, or misuse of, that mechanism.
