Yes. We do that based on IP. All the IPs we have allocated to Savannah in that whitelist, except for the dom0 (colonialone). I didn't realize that you actually use the dom0 for production services like routing mail; that's something that's usually not a good idea... Anyway; I've added the colonialone IP to the whitelist, so this should now be fixed. I would recommend you review the setup though; ideally the dom0 has *no* services that touch the outside world, leaving all that - and its inherent risks - to the various domUs.
