Have the SMTP limits obey the whitelist.

Why:
Well, we have a large organization we exchange large amounts of mail
with.  For whatever reason, their "Symantec Mail Security Gateway" POS
trips the max errors and ends up blocking their mail for the expiration
period.  This ended up in an endless loop because by the time the
expiration happened, they had so much mail queued up that it tripped the
limits again.  This happened while I was off Friday, so when people
discovered that mail that was sent in the early am still wasn't getting
through in the late afternoon, shit hit the fan.  I have added their
server IP into the appropriate areas to avoid this, but was thinking it
would be nice to have that happen automatically if the domain or ip is
already in the associated whitelists.

Having it obey the ipwl is obviously strait forward.  I was thinking to
make things even better, it could check to see if the ip matches the
domain name listed in the whitedomains file, and if so, add that IP to
the list of a smtpwhiteip's file.  That would probably have to tie into
the sender validation section because of the required lookup, but would
be worth it IMO.

Thoughts?
