Here's a patent that I missed in earlier listings. It covers white
lists, etc. as well as parental controls (i.e. lists of allowed
correspondents).

United States Patent  6,393,464  
Dieterman  May 21, 2002

Method for controlling the delivery of electronic mail messages 

Abstract
The present disclosure discloses a method for controlling the delivery
of electronic mail. The method comprises the steps of: creating an
allowed list of electronic addresses with which the user is permitted to
freely exchange messages; categorizing as authorized each message that
is sent to or received from an entity whose address is included on the
list; categorizing as unauthorized each message that is sent to or
received from an entity whose electronic address is not included in the
list; transmitting authorized outgoing messages to their intended
recipients; allowing the user to access the contents of authorized
received messages. Also disclosed is a method for allowing an
administrator to selectively approve messages which are sent to or
received from entities whose electronic addresses do not appear on the
allowed list.
