Hi Barry: I believe the whitelist entry simply gives it a negative score in addition to whatever positive scores it would have obtained via the rules. That is to say, if your spam message would have been 20.3 points without your whitelist entry, it'd only be something like 15.3 with (because the whitelist might be a -5 score).
It won't guarantee not tagging the email, but it does help. Something has got to be seriously wrong with the email if you were getting 20.3 without intending to 'spam.'
