How do you know that these emails are "good"? That is, what about
them are you keying off of? (If it is indeed the sender's email address,
then, yes, what Amir says about "white lists" applies.)
<p>Whatever it is that you are keying off of, the SB filtering can probably
be configured to key off of it as well. Then you just need to train
it appropriately.

This is a problem. The filter is only as good as the training that
you give it. If you sometimes tell it that "good" mail is "spam",
then you shouldn't be surprised if sometimes it tells you the same thing
back. :-) And, if you cannot configure/train the software properly,
in all odds no extra knob is going to save you. ;-)
<p>I'm sure that someone else here can comment better than I on how to
recover from mis-training the filter. But, if you let SB do it's
job (i.e., give it proper configuration and training), you should find
that you don't need special rules (such as "white lists").
