Whitelisting MailScanner HTML de-fanging {Scanned}

That would work great for SPAM, yes.

But I'm talking about the quarantining of mail because of dangerous content
(iframes, scripts, etc.) I want to whitelist a message to exempt it for
scanning of bad HTML, but not for SPAM or viruses.

Or is that the same option and does:

/etc/MailScanner/rules/spam.whitelist.rules
# This is where you can build a Spam WhiteList
# Addresses matching in here, with the value
# "yes" will never be marked as spam.

...actually mean spam and everything else? I acutally use SA's local.cf for
spam whitelisting, since it does a better job.

I did look over the FAQ before posting.
