spam rules confused

I am trying to add some addresses into the whitelist of mailscanner and
spamassassin. 

For MailScanner, it uses /etc/MailScanner/rules/spam.whitelist.rules
with the format like "FromOrTo: *@linux-sxs.org yes"

But when I look into the file /etc/mail/spamassassin/mailscanner.cf
( whick links to /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf ) there is
this following comment :

----------------------------------------------
# White list addresses should be added in

        /etc/MailScanner/rules/spam.whitelist.rules

----------------------------------------------

>From what I understand, the same whitelist file of Mailscanner is read
by spamassassin but the format of SA  rules is different from
MailScanner ones.

So how can spamassassin understand the file spam.whitelist.rules ?

Thanks for your advice,

Vu
