Hello Phil,

DSPAM does not whitelist a sender but instead adds a special token with 
the whole FROM line.
So "From: ste...@bajic.ch" will be translated to "From*ste...@bajic.ch". 
The problem with a whitelisting functionality in the WebUI is that the 
from line could be:
From: "Stevan Bajić" <ste...@bajic.ch>   -> Token: From*"Stevan Bajić" 
<ste...@bajic.ch>
From: ste...@bajic.ch  -> Token: From*ste...@bajic.ch
From: <ste...@bajic.ch>  -> Token: From*<ste...@bajic.ch>
and and and....

To make the manual whitelisting work, you would need to weaken the 
current mechanism and normalize the sender address and add that 
normalized sender address as a whitelist token to the storage engine. 
Then you could add a whitelist functionality to the WebUI. But with the 
current whitelisting functionality adding a option to whitelist one 
email address is practically pointless.

Usually the whitelist threshold is 10. If you want your DSPAM instance 
to whitelist faster, then try lowering the whitelistThreshold preference.
