Yes.  The From: header is perhaps the most easily forged element of an e-mail.
It isn't trustworthy.  Period.  dspam deals with statistical methods of judging
how likely a message is spam.  The whitelist feature is only available from
within the larger framework because it has to be able to be overturned if and
when that From: address _is_ forged.

If you really want to whitelist some address, use your MTA's configuration to
avoid sending the e-mail through dspam for those addresses.
