Running ossec-hids-2.8.1 on OpenSUSE 13.2

I have some IP's in /var/ossec/etc/ossec.conf, like

  <global>
    <white_list>127.0.0.1</white_list>
    <white_list>^localhost.localdomain$</white_list>
    <white_list>1.2.3.4</white_list>

but I still get loads of level 10 mails with content like

OSSEC HIDS Notification.
2015 Jun 09 21:27:20

Received From: localhost->/var/log/messages
Rule: 5703 fired (level 10) -> "Possible breakin attempt (high number of 
reverse lookup errors)."
Portion of the log(s):

2015-06-09T21:27:20.013160+02:00 localhost sshd[13842]: reverse mapping 
checking getaddrinfo for some.domain [1.2.3.4] failed - POSSIBLE BREAK-IN 
ATTEMPT!

Why are whitelisted IP's not suppressed in this?
I *know* what these IP's are doing, and I am fine with that.
