Well here's another old buddy.

You might want to look at the manner in which the bogofilter-plugin is
implemented in claws-mail.

With claws-mail by adding a sender to the addressbook all subsequent
mail from that sender is whitelisted and set spamicity=0.

Here's a header example 
X-Claws-Bogosity: Ham, spamicity=0 [whitelisted]
enough have gone through now that they are now classified as ham.
