Likely the sender is the "empty sender" <> (as per RFC). And you
should definitely not try and whitelist that. Indeed, you shouldn't
whitelist using addresses alone, at all, period. They would be far to
easy to forge.
Use the IP address of the sending server instead.

Now, why do you _need_ these to be whitelisted?
