I have to agree. There are many easier ways to administratively manage system whitelists that do not incur DSPAM processing and overhead. The benefit for this would be to have a user manage extra entries to their personal whitelists. One of the things missing from the auto-whitelist function is a way to easily remove or add additional addresses manually. In my mind, having a threshold for them to drop out of the whitelist similar to the auto-whitelist would also be useful. A global whitelist would not be useful because of the possibility for abuse.
