I have a working plugin and associated rule that can handle the task of
checking whether the sender should be whitelisted.

However, its designed to use my still-not-released mail archive as a
source of whitelistable who correspondents I've sent mail to. There's no
reason it couldn't be used stand-alone provided you can implement a
single table database and create a tool to populate the table. A
suitable command line tool can be written in just a few lines of Python
or as a bash shell script

Contact me off-list if this would be any use to you.

Using a database to hold the whitelist makes it very easy to update it
without interfering with normal SA operation.
