I would whitelist the mailinglist mailserver. It's the simpler option, but
you could do the other instead. I like to keep the MailScanner RBL checks
in place, but then I would, wouldn't I? :-)

I am surprised that mailing list servers are appearing on the RBLs. What is
your "Spam List" setting? What RBLs do www.dnsstuff.com say the servers are on?
