You can do that. There's a checkbox to say "people in my address book never 
send spam."  I don't think you can wildcard the addresses in your address book.

Maybe there's a way to whitelist specific addresses.

Yes. For mailing lists, I set "if it's to or cc the mailing list, or it's 
from the mailing list, then whitelist it."  Note that you have a "contains" 
option, so you can see if it "contains @yadda.com" for example.

I also usually sign up for things with different email addresses, so my 
erlang mailing list subscription is to dnew+erl### [at] sanrrcom which makes it 
easy to filter.

There's no obvious whitelist other than that or marking them as "not junk" 
until you've trained the filter it isn't junk.
