To manually whitelist a particular address, say d.cary@sparkingwire.com, edit your local user prefs file ( ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs ):

# whitelist David Cary:
whitelist_from  d.cary@sparkingwire.com

Whitelist and blacklist addresses are now file-glob-style patterns, so "
friend@somewhere.com", "*@isp.com", or "*.domain.net" will all work.

# whitelist everyone at sparkingwire.com:
whitelist_from  *@sparkingwire.com

...

If the sender is at all well known (such as a mailing list), you should use whitelist_from_rcvd instead so that a spammer can't forge their mail to look like it's from the whitelisted address. More info on whitelist_from, whitelist_from_rcvd, and blacklist_from is in the man pages; type perldoc Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf.
