Looks like gfi.com is either infected or is testing Benny's servers... They're sending however a vbs attachment:

[Found prohibited attachment: viewthis.jpg.vbs]

and that is a very, very strange way of "testing"... !

The IP 69.20.55.130 really appears to be from gfi, as pinging gfiservers.gfi.com does indeed resolve to 69.20.55.130.

Weird, or better put, interesting, as Benny said.

They send over those files to test how secure your email system is. I would suggest all of you guys try it.  It's interesting that Spamfilter ISP immediately thought it's a spammer and blocked all emails. :-)

I added their email address into whitelist and 4 of them came into my mail box. that is not good.

If you add them to a whitelist they will bypass all filtering rules and be delivered, which is exactly what the whitelist is for. The only exception is if the email contains a virus, and you're using our antivirus plugin. In this case, any viruses will be blocked regardless of the whitelists.

Another special case is the IP blacklist cache. As this filter disconnects the remote IP even before any content is sent, if a sender has sent spam before and is thus in the IP blacklist cache, any attempts to send emails from a whitelisted address will fail, as the connection will be dropped before the sender's address is provided.
