That's usually not the best approach, for two reasons:
[1] Many spammers know that people whitelist their own domain, so the
spammers will often send the E-mail with a return address on your domain
name. It's a very easy way for them to increase their paycheck by about
10-20% or so.
[2] Although whitelisting your domain can help reduce false positives on
your local-to-local E-mail, it's impossible for a whitelist to whitelist
your E-mail on other servers.
Normally, the best approach is to see what spam tests the E-mails are
failing, and then fix the problem that is causing them to fail the spam
test(s).
