SA whitelist not working??

[Rob Morin]

I have always been using  that syntax, i simply go into 
/opt/Mailscanner/etc/rules and edit spam.whitelist  Its been working ok 
for years, except now its stopped....

That email is simply my hotmail address that i sent via the hotmail 
website to one of my other email addresses, so yes it should be in the 
envelope as the sender....

Is there another way i should be creating whitelists???

I would like to be as standard as i can be....

Thanks for your prompt reply...
