How much control do you have over your spam filter? SpamAssassin
provides the ability to white-list to and from addresses in the
user_prefs file, as well as applying an auto-whitelist fudge factor for
frequently-seen addresses.

If you could parse the Evo address book, you could just copy all
addresses found into your spam whitelist. So the problem reduces to how
to extract all email addresses from Evo. Ideally it should be a command
line program that can be run from cron so that your whitelist stays up
to date without your interaction.
