The scores you posted seem to indicate that the message you sent to spamassassin has no headers. What does your test message look like and how did you do the test?

Also, "whitelist_from" is a very bad idea in general. It can be fooled VERY easily. Once you fix the problem and get the whitelist_from working, you should change it to "whitelist_from_rcvd" or "whitelist_from_spf", which are much more resistant to spoofing.
