The wildcard isn't needed, and I doubt it's allowed either. See the info and examples at http://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.0.x/dist/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Conf.html#whitelist_and_blacklist_options
Specifically, the string at the end of whitelist_from_rcvd which refers to the reverse DNS of the host, "can either be the full hostname, or the domain component of that hostname. In other words, if the host that connected to your MX had an IP address that mapped to 'sendinghost.spamassassin.org', you should specify sendinghost.spamassassin.org or just spamassassin.org here." So in your case, [whitelist_from_rcvd [EMAIL PROTECTED] somelist.org] would work (without the [] of course). The wildcard is effectively implied.
