RE: white_list is not working.....HELP!

Found it.

Your test message starts with these two lines:

MAIL FROM:<xx@xx.com> SIZE=3803
RCPT TO:<txx@gxxo.org>

These are not valid header lines, so this messes up the header parsing. If you fix these headers to be formatted properly or do SA parsing before adding these headers, the problem will go away.
