...which I don't use. I currently do not see any benefit in tagging outgoing
mail. I have to read some more docs to understand what tagging this mail
brings back to me.

Yes, exactly. That would bet *it*.

I got an advice that I could pass mails by adding something like

   body   'some match code'  ok

to my input filter, but this leads to the problem that all mail is passed,
even if 'some match code' is not included in the mail. I think I made
something wrong, but did not have the time to analyse it.

I've been thinking to use an external program to check the incoming mail for
the token and let it add it the sender address to my whitelist. An example
how to call an external program is given in the docs with the "razor-check"
call. This method would be a replacement for "ok=append", which is basically
my need.
