Whitelisting my users

In etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf

I have a line:

whitelist_from_rcvd *@mydomain.com

And just now a legitimate business email from one of my users to the
Internet was tagged as spam.

Is this wrong? Where do I tell SA to score anything I'm sending out as
-100 points?

TIA
Eric

If your SA tags the message as spam, you can whitelist all you want but
other people's SA will not do so. Maybe it was another SA installation
that tagged the message?

whitelist_from_rcvd requires TWO parameters. One which is a From address,
one of which is a Received: header fragment.

ie: whitelist_from *@evi-inc.com xanadu.evi-inc.com
