Best practices for white and black lists?

[Steve Evans]

It's a lot more sophisticated/complicated than that, but that is the end
result.  It's also based on who you send messages to.

I'm not sure quite how it works, but the idea is that if you get a
certain number of non-spam messages from an address, it decides that
address is definitely not a spammer and adds that address to the
whitelist so that no mail from that address will ever be marked as spam.
