How to correct SpamAssassin false positives?

I have not found a whitelist as such. My problem is, if I set a recipe in Filtering: Advanced, the bulk of Junk mail reverts to the default destination which, I assume, is /dev/null/.

Other than delivering messages to your inbox, there is no default behavior when the advanced spam filter. Your messages will go wherever your procmail rules tell them to go, and nothing more.

Set up Filtering: Advanced like this:

Send all messages from <any_mailbox>@whatever.com to $DEFAULT (Inbox)
Send all other junk mail to .Junk/ folder
Send all other mail to $DEFAULT

# ---------------------
# BEGIN SPAM PROTECTION

:0:
* ^From:.*@whatever\.com
$DEFAULT

:0:
* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
.Junk/

# END SPAM PROTECTION
# ---------------------
# REMAINING MESSAGES GO TO INBOX

:0:
$DEFAULT

# ---------------------

The final rule isn't necessary - anything that makes it past the first two rules will go to your inbox.
