This is one hellaciously good idea Gary. It works like a charm. Looking at
my daily email, a goodly portion comes from addresses I know, usually
systems reporting status.
I'm going to go over to bugzilla and post this as an enhancement. If this
were internal to spamc (not spamd) it would produce a huge boost in
performance. Could even stick in a header that says "SPAMD BYPASSED".
