USER_IN_WHITELIST is triggered by matching a whitelist_from (not
recommended) or whitelist_from_rcvd entry. There are matching rules for
DKIM (USER_IN_DKIM_WHITELIST) and SPF pass (USER_IN_SPF_WHITELIST)
results based on whitelist_from_dkim, whitelist_from_spf, or whitelist_auth.
None of these are based on the recipient; they are all based on the sender.
USER_IN_WHITELIST_TO applies to all mail for a given recipient; IMO
it's a crude hack to work around cases where whatever is calling SA
can't use the SA userprefs system to just change the threshold instead.
From MIMEDefang you also have the potential issue that a message may
have more than one recipient; if you want to apply per-recipient
policies you'll have to use stream_by_recipient to keep all the
management in MIMEDefang.
If you really want to apply a -100 score to a *recipient*, you're
probably better off altering your MD call to SpamAssassin to just not
pass mail for that recipient to SA in the first place.
