Amavis rejecting mail with bad header

I am really in a dilema with this.

I NEED to have this fixed somehow, but am above my expertise
level.

I have added *domainname.com in that section, and I just
was told we
rejected their email again.

Am I not putting this in the right place for whitelisting?
Am I not using
the right format?

PLEASE.........this is a real issue for us, with a huge
customer. 

Any advise you have would be appreciated......

Yes, the header states:   X-Envelope-From: <mgmtdataxxxxxxxxx>

Can I add the domain only? Is the format simply
xxxxxxxxxx.com like
browntransmission.com, or would it be with a wildcard,
*browntransmission.com?

I cannot help you more with perl nor amavis, but are you
sure MGMTDATA is
the "envelope" sender and not only the
"From"
header value ?
