The closest that comes to it is a per-recipient (soft- or hard-) whitelisting, implemented by @score_sender_maps or equivalently in SQL. For a given recipient (which can be a specific user or a domain or a subdomain tree) you can provide a list of senders (again specific or domains), and associate with this relationship score points which are added to the spam score. It's somewhat awkward to do it by hand - if fine for a couple of exceptions, but an extensive set of groups would require some tool to facilitate generation of appropriate SQL records. On the automatic side, pen pals is another approach, partly covering your needs. Based on SQL log of past mail transactions, it contributes negative score points to replies on previous conversations - based either on a sender/recipient pair of addresses, or on a Message-ID (useful for mailing lists).
