Whitelisting certain outbound messages

[Paul Hutchings]

This is genuine curiosity not meant to be a smart-alec remark but why
would people want to spam check their outbound mail?

I can't get my head around letting a message out that suggests "We think
this is spam but we sent it anyway"?

Easy for me to say as a Company mail admin vs. say an ISP/Uni, I'm just
curious.

I was talking about inbound messages! I find it hits too many ham.

Outbound messages can be favoured with AWL and the ALL_TRUSTED SA 
ruleset. See the spamassassin wiki for details.
