Problems with outgoing mail being detected as spam

No this has nothing to do with autowhitelisting. Are you by any chance
running exim? There was a bug in MailScanner (at least in 4.13-3) which
would explain exactly this behavior (at least when using domain names).

As Jeremy mentioned this should read

From:   65.219.192.36   yes
From:   65.219.192.35   yes
FromTo: default         no

Why are you not using domain names btw? From my point of view this is
easier. 

From: *@image-src.com   yes

Are you absolutely sure that the envelope shows one of these e-mail
adresses as the sender? 

....

Hmm. Now that I am reading this again, why are you using whitelisting at
all for this? I prefer to stop spam checks alltogether for messages from
my local domain:

In MailScanner.conf put

Spam Checks = /opt/MailScanner/etc/rules/spam.checks.rules

And in this file put

From: *@image-src.com   no
From: 65.219.192.               no
FromTo: default         yes

That should do the trick.
