Oops, with SA 2.* you cannot use whitelist_from_rcvd if the sender &
recipient are both in 'trusted_networks'. It is looking for the
external (untrusted) to trusted hand-off to find that DNS name of the
sender. (I think that SA 3.0 is more flexible about this, but havn't
played with it yet).
In the case where sender & receiver are the same, you'll never have
that untrusted to trusted hand-off.
Better to configure your system to not SA filter internally
generated messages (or create some specific-to-your-system rules to
add "brownie points" to same ;).
