Neither, just unnecessary. Think of the problem you're trying to resolve,
current whitelist practice is to manually add your correspondences address
to the whitelist, another solution would suggest exporting your address book
(not available and requires an update for each new address) or making your
correspondent perform handsprings to be added to the whitelist.

How about sending your mail via daemon that authenticates your connection
against authentication used for whitelist access (just like authenticated
SMTP)? After updating the list (where necessary) the message could be
relayed to the SMTP server. New addresses can be added to the whitelist
saving your correspondences completing the verification task?

The advantage is that you use the recipient address twice, once to direct
the message and once to update your whitelist.

Your comments are welcome
