According to this help page:
Legitimate messages are marked as spam
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answe
r.py?answer=9008&topic=12852
If you add the person to your contacts, they'll never be
marked as spam.
What this page fails to mention is that every time you Mark
a message
as spam, Unmark a message as spam, or even accept the
marking/unmarking GMail gave it originally, you're teaching
GMail's
filters to identify that message. GMail's spam filters are
learning
filters, and each time you unmark a marked one, it looks for
reasons
it first marked it, and re-evaluates them. This way, it
will learn
not to mark messages you don't want marked, while still
marking ones
you do want marked. That's why it's important to make sure
you catch
and unmark the false positives. It will eventually stop
marking them;
but it can't hurt to add the person to your contacts if they
do send
you important messages.
