Create a script, that reads a mail from STDIN. Scan for the From:
header, extract the email address and dump the rest. Then you can call
whitelist.py with the extracted email address.

Alternatively, you sure can edit whilelist.py to accept the mail and
getting the address from the From: header itself.

The filter should be like this:
 if    <some criteria>
 then  "Pipe Message to Shell Command" <script>
