>From the spam.whitelist.rules.sample file:
# If you are basing a blacklist on this then you can refer to
# a null (empty) sender address with "/^$/" as the address to match.
#
# This is where you can build a Spam WhiteList
# Addresses matching in here, with the value
# "yes" will never be marked as spam.
#From:          152.78.         yes
#From:          130.246.        yes
#From:          host:soton.ac.uk yes # Note this is slower than using the IP
FromOrTo:       default         no

So if you know hostname, you can use the "host" option, or just
whitelist the whole hostname "domain.tld"
