Can somebody help me with getting white listing to work using the Welcomelist options either under Mail Filter -> Rules or Mail Proxy -> Welcomelist ?

I have some emails that keep being quarantined despite adding the sender's adress in either or both Welcomelists mentioned above.

I've also tried giving the Welcomelist rule a higher priority so that it is executed before the Modify Header rule, but that did not make a difference.
