Since you're using procmail you can easily implement the whitelist
directly from within it. For example, place the following before the
spamassassin recipe:
:0:Inbox.lock
* ? formail -x"From" -x"From:" -x"Sender:" -x"Reply-To:" -x"Return-Path:" \
| grep -iqsF -f /home/mine/Mail/known
Inbox
I also have a script that runs when ppp starts that builds this
whitelist from my KDE addressbook.
#!/bin/sh
INFILE=$HOME/.kde/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf
OUTFILE=$HOME/Mail/known
grep "EMAIL:" ${INFILE} | sed -e "s/^EMAIL://" | \
$//" | sort > ${OUTFILE}
You should be able to do the equivalent with mutt's addressbook.
The benefit being that to whitelist someone you simply need to add them
to your addressbook. No messing around with spamassassin.
If you're not on a dial-up or once at connect isn't frequent enough, you
can put the addressbook extract script into a cron job.
