No, sorry. This rather defeats the whitelist. The other thing you could do
is implement the whitelist yourself in a Custom Function attached to the
"Spam Actions" option instead of using the supplied "Is Definitely Not
Spam" option. The "Spam Actions" could deliver the message if it is in your
whitelist.
