The simple suggestions:
1. Are you certain your whitelist matches the envelop sender address?
2. Did you restart spamd/amavisd/whatever daemonized process was running
after updating the rules?
The usual suggestions:
1. Whitelist_from is very dangerous, because it is so easy to spoof. You
should use whitelist_from_dkim, whitelist_from_spf, or
whitelist_from_received (in descending order of trust) instead.
