 From what I can see, Yahoo.com Online mail interface has two options 
to white list mail, otherwise all new mail goes into the a SPAM box first.

1) White list the 2822.From (which it calls "Sender") by adding its to 
the user's contact list,

2) Creating a filter, which from I see does not allow 5322.Header rules.

This is the filter form:

Filter name: ______________
sender:     _______________ [_] sender match case
recipient:  _______________ [_] recipient match case
subject:    _______________ [_] subject match case
body:       _______________ [_] body match case
Move to Folder:	______________

The only way I was able to white list a test list was to use a Subject 
rule for [LIST_NAME] to move it to a folder LIST_NAME.
