It's not it's own header flag, but is rather embedded in the Spam Status flag. By way of examples, here's a message I got this morning from my mother (yes, she's on my whitelist too )

X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-99.0 required=5.0 tests=CLICK_BELOW, HTML_60_70, HTML_FONTCOLOR_BLUE, HTML_LINK_CLICK_HERE, HTML_MESSAGE, HTML_TAG_BALANCE_HTML, NO_REAL_NAME, USER_IN_WHITELIST

So it's that last entry in the X-Spam-Status flag that tells you the sender is in the whitelist, and it adds a -100 (negative one hundred) to the spam score. Thus my mother would have to REALLY send me a lousy piece of mail for it to add up to a plus five total.

When you look in that flag, do you then see the USER_IN_WHITELIST text?
