By-user whitelisting

Julian, I'm loving this by-user whitelisting feature but I've had a few
problems crop up.  Here are the headers for one that keeps getting nailed
as spam:

My personal whitelist in /usr/local/MailScanner/spam.bydomain/whitelist
contains the entry "list at myucomics.com" but it's not being whitelisted.  My
only other clue is in the mail log:

Do I need to whitelist the relay site in order for this to work?  I know
it's only a comic in this instance but, if we really start using this
personal whitelisting feature, this will become a larger issue with other
messages later on.  Thanks in advance.
