Instead of using the never ending approach of finding and always adding to filters looking for possible spam content, the white list takes the oppisite approach. Set up a filter that looks for mail you know you want and exclude everything else. This is easy to do using pine's filter functions. For example, one says to keep any mail containing an address also in one's addressbook, all else is either deleted or moved to a seperate file. My spam fell to 0 using this in pine. There is considerable more detail that can make it work easily, but the addressbook is one example. XB IC|XC
