This isn't new functionality, there are already such default
whitelisting entries based on 

def_whitelist_from_rcvd
def_whitelist_from_spf
def_whitelist_from_dkim 

The proposal is to add  extra entries based on def_whitelist_auth, which
is a shorthand for separate def_whitelist_from_spf and
def_whitelist_from_dkim entries. 

The current entries are a bit incoherent. The scores are:

score USER_IN_DEF_WHITELIST -15.000  (from def_whitelist_from_rcvd)
score USER_IN_DEF_SPF_WL     -7.500
score USER_IN_DEF_DKIM_WL    -7.500

which suggests that a lot of overlap is expected on the latter two. But
the great majority of address globs are only for dkim.

I think a case can be made for transferring most of the score to a
single metarule.


And, personally, I think -15 is a bit too much.
