MailScanner doesn't use the headers at all for this, it uses the envelope.
So either take a guess at what the envelope "From" address is (it might be
the same as the return-path address) or take a look in your mail logs to
determine the real envelope "From" address. At a guess the envelope From
address will vary for every message from this list, so you may have to
whitelist the whole domain using
         From:   marketwatchmail.com
