Not quite; the whitelisting you're describing is the SpamAssassin
whitelist mechanism.  Maia's whitelists are separate from this, and
prevent the mail from being spam-checked at all (i.e. SpamAssassin does
not even get called for items in Maia's whitelist).  This only affects
spam-checking however--all other tests (i.e. viruses, banned
attachments, bad headers) still get performed as usual.
