My suggestion was intended to minimize the effect on existing behavior. I agree, it would probably be a very good idea to allow whitelist_from to be scored differently than the other whitelist variants, and to ship it with a smaller default score, but that change is fairly disruptive.
I would like to see whitelist_score_from points address which acts just like "whitelist_from address", but which has a score of "points" rather than some fixed score. That way I could do: whitelist_from -5 f...@yahoo.com for people that post legit but spammy-looking mail to mailinglists, and get their regular mail in the right folder instead of a spam folder, but not let their account-hijacked spam bleed through like -100 would do. And also use -20 for people I know, -50 for customers, etc.
