Understood, but he can whitelist them locally. Anyway, they can still send mail that get past reasonably-configured spam filters (good helo, rdns, message-id, ... should be enough, but plain text should help a lot). or they could sign the email so rcpt can check the sig and accept the mail. And they could say "if you have a spam filter, make sure you don't discard our messages..." instead of "disable your filter". if a filter still discards such mail, then it is the recipient's problem.
I mean that whitelisting shouldn't be _the_ approach.
