There are two approaches:

1) Add the domain to the SpamAssassin config file, typically
   /etc/mail/spamassassin/sa-mimedefang.cf

2) Do the checks in MIMEDefang's filter itself:

$Whitelist = 0;
if ($Sender =~ /\@gooddomain\.com>?$/i or
    $Sender =~ /\@other-good-domain\.net>?$/i) {
    $Whitelist = 1;
}

# Don't do SpamAssassin checks if $Whitelist
if (!$Whitelist) {
	# ... do spam checks
}

The way you do it is up to you, though there is one subtle difference:
SpamAssassin uses the contents of the From: field, whereas $Sender is set
from the SMTP "MAIL FROM:" command.
