Nothing. That is normal behavior. Whitelisting does not exclude a 
message from SA scanning. It doesn't apply the MailScanner SA rules to 
the message, so even if it scores above your 'high' threshold, it will 
not be spam tagged or quarantined or whatever.

If you want to exclude a message from scanning, you need to use the "Use 
SpamAssassin" instead, or even "Spam Checks". Read the config file.
