Look, you didn't get my most important point. Yes, I was pointing out
some spammy looking oddities -- but the real issue is...
That sender got an AWL of a whopping 50. Think about that. It means,
that while this particular mail scored low (read: not spam) without your
whitelist and AWL, the senders history average is *way* above that.
Something like an average of 100 or something. Thus AWL "corrected" the
score.
The real question for you is, *why* does that sender maintain an average
score higher than 50?
Again, any chance you sent a GTUBE test message using that sender?
Please re-read my previous post carefully. The point is, that if that
sender would *not* send messages scoring above 50 regularly, AWL would
not adjust the score that dramatically -- and there would be no need for
whitelisting in the first place. Think about it...

IMHO you do not need to whitelist. You need to investigate why the
average score for that sender is that high. Then fix that. Whitelisting
is just a bad work-around for the real issue.
(Also, you already do whitelist that sender in SA. It's mailscanner that
treated the message as spam, NOT SA.)

Moreover, as has been stated a few times -- SA did *NOT* reject that
particular mail. It was your broken mailscanner conf.

Read that as "what is your SA version" and answer the question, please.
