Why not, but I don't understand why you say this is less accurate.
DSPAM will continu to compute tokens as it was done before, and at the
end it will check if email address is in the whitelist and tag the mail
with "X-DSPAM-Result: Whitelisted".
It is the same way of present whitelist, but management could be
done by the end-user.

I talke about a manual intervention by the user.
I have 3 DSPAM servers running with Qmail, whitelisting on the MTA level
is not impossible, but with a centralized DSPAM database, this is much
more simple and clean.

Right ;)
