Although you can tweak the weights in the spamprobe database
explicitly, I doubt just setting one item would have much effect
on the score (esp. if it is discarded as an outlier?)

The most practical way I can think of, short of changing
the source code, is that you probably have spamprobe integrated
with something else (such as procmail) and that would be the
place to put the whitelisting.

For instance one of my users keeps a couple of whitelists
- one with whitelisted from addresses for personal senders,
and another with whitelisted to addresses for mailing list
subscriptions:

# whitelist
:0E
* ? (echo "$FROM" | $FGREP -i -f $HOME/.whitelist)
  ${DEFAULT}

# let my MLs through
:0E
* ? (echo "$TO" | $FGREP -i -f $HOME/.legitlists)
  ${DEFAULT}
