If you do want "no" spam check for internal outbound emails, may be using a
rules file for "Spam Checks =".
e.g. Spam Checks = %rules-dir%/spam.checks.rules

spam.checks.rules:
From:            10.0.           no
FromOrTo:    default        yes

Subject: A question re "Ignore Spam Whitelist If ..."


I _never_ want mail originating on campus to be tagged as spam.

Thus we have always whitelisted mail originating at this site by listing
our campus network IP ranges in ~/rules/spam.whitelist.rules.

We see many messages originating on campus that have more than 20
(usually local) recipients.

When you added the "Ignore Spam Whitelist If Recipients Exceed = 20"
option some time ago, I bumped the number up to 1000 to avoid this
overiding "spam.whitelist.rules". We thus lose the protection the
"Ignore Spam Whitelist If ..." option provided.

What I really want is the ability to absolutely whitelist a subset of
address or IP ranges while allowing other options to conditionally
ignore the whitelisting of addresses outside that subset.

How can I do this?
