I've not even looked at this configuration in many months. As I recall, I had 
the default setting: 

zen.spamhaus.org|ix.dnsbl.manitu.net|bl.spamcop.net|psbl.surriel.com|safe.dnsbl.sorbs.net|blackholes.five-ten-sg.com|dnsbl-1.uceprotect.net|dnsbl-2.uceprotect.net|dnsbl-3.uceprotect.net|list.dsbl.org|ix.dnsbl.manitu.net|bhnc.njabl.org

Apparently, changes were made that 'broke' earlier settings. This brings up a 
separate issue: I'm not sure how such changes help when one has assp do the 
auto download and update. The admin would have no idea that the format and/or 
values of the default settings had changed. this could get messy, in the long 
run. :-/

Either way, it does not change the problem that, in this case, a message from a 
valid whitelisted sender e-mail address (from a server that has sent and will 
continue to send spam, irrespective of whether it's in a DNSBL) does not make 
it through.

Which is why the e-mail address was already in the white list. I had seen that 
the sender domain had problems with its MX and A records. I put the e-mail 
address in the white list, and that resulted in the log line saying that DNSBL 
was a problem. Maybe there's no relationship between the two attempts at 
sending a message, but having had the e-mail address in the message, should 
have got the message through. Problem is that it did not. 

Either there's more to the problem, or it seems a change is needed. Given that 
the address is in the white list, I've no idea what that change may have to be. 
It should, however, be a change that is not a temporary work around for just 
one message/sender.
