Whitelists have their own risks that I would rather not have to deal with
at the delivery level. For example, I post something to a mailing list,
someone wants clarification about that thing and would prefer not to
discuss it on the list. His mail bounces because he is not in my
whitelist. Sure, he gets a note saying, "here is how to get on Rat's
whitelist." That is a pain in the ass, plain and simple.
Whitelists do not scale well at all, which is why SpamCop is moving away
from a whitelist/blacklist scheme to an heuristic scheme that they have
found blocks more spam with fewer false positives than the combined white
and black lists.
Just FYI.
