You can either set up an SQL database for user_prefs to hold both global and 
user-specific entries - that's how I'm doing it, or according to Theo:

"a quick workaround for this problem, btw, is running spamd with
"--max-conn-per-child=1".  it essentially reverts spamd to the 2.x way, and each
child only processes 1 message before exiting."

The doc for SQL user_prefs is here: 
http://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.0.x/dist/sql/README

In my case, I have no local users (~/ doesn't exist) and I was running MySQL 
for something else anyway... so it just made sense to put my settings in MySQL 
rather than using "--virtual-config-dir=".

I really like ability to put global whitelist_from's in the local.cf for 
company wide whitelisting.  And put user specific whitelist_from's in their
~/.spamassassin/user_prefs.  This allows users to maintain they're personal 
white and black lists.  This also keeps users out of the systems wide 
configuration file.

If you're using user_pref files, try putting them in there; if the 
problem is indeed 'whitelist entries are taken from the last place spamd 
looks for them' (as it seems to be), that might work. If you're not, run 
spamd with the '-x' option to disable scanning for user_prefs and only 
look in local.cf. The latter option worked for me.
