Both.  Feeding it to Bayes helps to correct its behaviour for both 
future messages from this sender and similar mail from others, and 
welcomelist_from_(whatever) ensures that future mail from this sender 
doesn't get caught.

I still use welcomelist_from_rcvd now and then for senders that are 
(still) variously fumbling - or outright skipping - SPF and DKIM.  :/
