The problem is that you don't know the IP address from which the answer 
will come. So the real modification here is to modify the autowhitelist
so that masks can be stored along with IP, and after you accept a message
<ip,from,rcpt>, you'd be optionnaly able to insert this into the database:
ip/32 from rcpt
0.0.0.0/0 rcpt from

If you decide to work on that, make sure you use the latest code, as the
autowhitelist code was heavily modified recently (autowhitelist and 
greylist are now merged)
