Are there whitelisting for Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, and AOL?
On my website (in development), members can send messages to each other that are sent directly to their email, now I'm worried that some members might send spam to other members (I have a spam filter but it doesn't work "I give 100% protection, as you know), I am worried that my domain might get blacklisted in Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail or AOL, causing any messages sent from my domain to end up in my spam folder, here why do I want to add my website domain to my whitelists (if they exist).
PS I don't want to use private messages that members check on the site, and I have a reason for doing so.

Your email may not be considered "bulk" because it looks like one - one, not one - many, but these bulk email aids might be helpful:
- Yahoo! Mail Postmaster Help
- GMail Bulk Sender Guide
- Windows Live Hotmail Postmaster Services
- AOL Postmaster Website
As Bevan pointed out, your goal will be constant to keep your site clean across services.
Not sure if you're looking at this already, but you can send an email "on behalf of" the requesting user (ie set the from and reply-to fields to the user who is sending the message).

While these sites may have whitelisting, I suspect that they only encourage the use of any scoring system - being on the list will not by itself.
The overall control factor will be your site's "reputation" - you need to work hard to keep the reputation sound.
Unfortunately for your workload, I think this will be an ongoing task and not a one-off.
