While I somewhat doubt that this is the case here, you can't be sure. Just
last week, our mail server started receiving messages purporting to be
whitelist requests, but they were actually spam. I've included the text of
one below my signature.

Hello. this is an automated response from Brian buhrow. Due to the
increasing volume of spam, it is necessary for me to verify that you really
want to send me e-mail before I read your message. If you reply to this
message, I will know that you really did intend to write to me, and your
original message regarding Important, along with your reply to this
verification request, will be forwarded to me immediately. In addition, I
will make a note of your e-mail address, so that you will not have to
respond to these automated verification requests ever again.
I appologize for this extra step, but I believe this will allow me
to treat your e-mail with the attention it deserves, rather than spending my
time deleting useless messages which ask me to help distressed African
nationals transfer billions of dollars around the globe.
