I decided to go with your second option, the first wasn't a good idea for us. I did find out what email server they are using according to their email header, however, I'm wondering if WebSTAR is the cause of their "open relay"? Maybe they should just run something simple like SIMS if WebSTAR is the problem.

The second option is to add the specific IP address that you wish to
un-blacklist to your Client Hosts list, which overrides any blacklists. The
drawback here is that it makes you an open relay for any mail coming from
that address, not just the mail that you want to receive. Of these two
options, the second is probably preferrable. In order to exploit it, a
hypothetical spammer would have to stumble onto the fact that, while you're
close to relays from everywhere else, you're open to relays from just that
one address. I've done this for one or two addresses and, touch wood,
haven't yet had cause to regret it.
