I just saw that the configuration in lists seems to already white-list
savannah.gnu.org's IP (199.232.41.3). At least that's what it looks
like.

However, despite all outgoing traffic is set to go through .3 (eth0),
connections appear to come from savannah.nongnu.org (.4 -
eth0:1). This may have caused the white-listing to fail.
