You could use the "Accept Spam From" setting to mark all your internal IP
addresses as ones that never generate spam, so they are automatically
"white-listed".

If you don't use the "High Score" feature, then you could set
"abuse at your.domain.com" to have the rule "deliver" in spam.actions.conf
(which you will have to enable in the mailscanner.conf file).
