Sorry that my first email was not clear. The address shown in the sendmail
log:

sendmail[12558]: k34KuiHl012558: from=<frame< @ >scrappy.surveysampling.com>

Does not match the address shown on the MailScanner-From header:

MailScanner-From: frame< @ >scrappy.surveyspot.com

This is what looks wrong to me. I thought both of these should be the
envelope email address.

I did not want to change the email addresses too much because that does not
accurately show the problem I am try to show.

I use a MS rule to do the white-listing. That is not the real problem. The
problem is that the MailScanner-From header does not have the envelope email
address.
