This is not how I understood the "Is Definitely Not Spam" option. It 
doesn't make any sense to me to scan a message where I know already before 
doing it that it's not spam. What for should I scan it? There's the SA 
whitelisting which adds -100 if someone really wants to scan all messages. 
Adding another whitelisting in MS doesn't make any sense unless it avoids 
the scanning phase. That's also what the comments in the MailScanner.conf 
file suggest to me and what I know from experience with milters.
I'm puzzled now.
