Please ask questions like this on spambayes at python.org.  spambayes-dev is
for discussion about the development of spambayes.

This is called whitelisting.  See FAQ 6.6:

SpamBayes isn't a whitelist/blacklist system.  Decisions aren't based on
addresses, they are based on statistical analysis of the entire mail.

If you don't understand why a message scores what it does, then take a look
at the clues for the message (the "clues" link in the web interface, the
"Show clues for this message" option in Outlook).  If you don't understand
after looking at the clues, then forward them to the list, and we will do
our best to explain it to you.
