There is no need to.  First of all, spambayes doesn't actually do
anything to your email, so it can't possibly be lost.  If you want
"whitelisting" then it belongs in the sorting rules you have.  Simply
check the values you want to whitelist on _before_ checking spambayes'
classification of the message.  Besides, whitelisting can not be
guaranteed to work because (almost) anything you want to whitelist on
can be forged by spammers and worms.
