Things seem to be are working fine, but I started to wonder if there's any
logic in having mail that is sent to no processing local addresses by
whitelisted senders ever add to the whitelist.

For example, I came across a scenario where a local no process address (one
that external volunteers use to submit their information to us) is set to
no processing to help insure that messages get through, regardless of
content.   That works fine, but often staff here will reply from their
address to the volunteer, which whitelists that volunteer's external
address (also as expected).  If I that volunteer now sends in an email to
another non-processing address and cc's 10 other external people, those 10
people get whitelisted even though the email was sent to a no processing
address.

I know that I could also add this no processing address to
NoAutoWhiteAddresses to avoid this, but I began wondering why this would be
necessary.  Is there a situation where an admin would want messages that
are flagged as no-processing but sent by a whitelisted sender to stil
contribute to the whitelist?  I can't think of one.  Is there any value to
adding a NoProcessingContributesToWhitelist checkbox to allow admins to
decide?  If there's generally not a reason to have NP add to whitelist,
giving us that option to globally exclude them from doing so would stop us
from needing to maintain 2 the NP regex and NoAutoWhiteAddresses lists.  In
some cases, the NP might be a regex due to a wildcard, and
NoAutoWhiteAddresses wouldn't work in that scenario.

I bet I'm missing something obvious, but still figured that it might be
worth a short discussion.
