Im still learning spamdyke, and we are using it with QMAIL, and Im stuck on this one.
We have 5 distribution lists, lets call them emaila@domain.com, emailb@domain.com, etc., that receive messages from the same address, based on criteria lets call that sendera@domain.com.
Regardless of the destination, there are always the same details in my maillog when a message is received from sendera@domain.com. Here are the details

When I first noticed this entry, my assumption was that it was a rDNS issue but the rDNS does resolve from the sender domain. Oddly enough as well, mail from 1 of the 5 distribution lists was coming through although the message about AWL,BAYES_05,RDNS_NONE was displayed.
To test, I created a whitelist_ip entry for the IP of their mail server. It seems to have helped so we now receive e-mail from 2 of the 5 entries, but the message above still references the AWL,BAYES_05,RDNS_NONE. And, as a result, we are still not receiving messages from 3 of the 5 distribution lists.
It appears the whitelist_ip didnt give me the desired effect. Any advice on how I can make adjustments so that this e-mail comes through from this sender? Or, work with the sender so that they make adjustments so that mail will flow to us without adjusting our spam filters? My preference would be to have this fixed without having to maintain the whitelist_ip entry.
