It does not solve your problem. I was merely pointing out that it does
not worsen the problem.
See below for a solution to your problem.

That is in fact correct. whitelist_from_rcvd won't bias the message
towards being learned as ham, but it also won't stop it from being learned.
There are only two ways to keep a message from being autolearned:
1) disable the autolearner entirely
2) don't feed the message to SA in the first place.
AFAIK, there is no option in SA that will disable the autolearner on a
per-message basis.
Now for your particular problem, you're using qmail-scanner. You do have
the option of doing 2.
Check out the technique used to bypass scanning mail from 127.0.0.1 on
this page:
http://qmail-scanner.sourceforge.net/
So all you need to do is add a tweak to your tcpserver/smtp.rules to
directly deliver messages from the list server's IP directly to
qmail-queue.pl, instead of qmail-scanner-queue.pl.
Poof, done.
