Doh! Missed that ;)

Are you using MailWatch at all with the SQL based whitelisting ? or using the text based rules ?

Somthing is making Mailscanner think the mail is whitelisted.

Yu could try stopping mailscanner and then running it manually in debug mode and it should tell you why it was whitelisted.
