Spamhalter - Difference between "Excluding" and "Whitelisting"

$

Hi guys,

Every time I have to add mail addresses or domains for excluding from processing to Spamhalter, I'm wondering which Spamhalter setting section I should use for this task. I could add the address/domain to the list "Exclude from processing" or to the list "Whitelist senders" (or to both). But from my point of view both things cause the same: the e-mail containing the subject sender address will never be catched and arrested within the spam folder.

The Spamhalter manual only states:

Whitelist senders
A listing of email addresses and domains that will be automatically whitelisted.  Wildcards are allowed, one address per line. The entry *@domain.com will exclude this domain from processing; a*@domain.com will exclude all the users with the name starting with "a" from processing.  The address can be tested for validity.

Exclude from processing
A listing of email addresses and domains that will be excluded from processing.  Wildcards are allowed, one address per line. The entry *@domain.com will exclude this domain from processing; a*@domain.com will exclude all the users with the name starting with "a" from processing.  The address can be tested for validity.

Could anybody light me up? Idea
