True, but I like to be able to cross-check my whitelisting:
grep "is not spam (whitelisted)" maillog |grep -P "score=([1-9][0-9]|[5-9])\."
Lets me pick out any messages with scores from 5.0 through 99.999 that were
whitelisted by MS. Good for cross-checking my spam rules, and checking to ensure
no clients are sending spam through the server...
I find that very useful and powerful, without the risk of user complaints that I
tagged their outbound mail.
However, I do see your point that some want the speed boost, particularly for
sites where all internal-to-internal mail gets MailScanner'ed.. (for me only
external to internal and internal to external gets scanned)
