no - it's always a tradeoff

i just say -7.5 is too high because it also outbeats any other
rules - you need a lot bad things in a message with -7.5 and
also on several whitelists to get a message rejected as FP

yes, please

all other "def_whitelist_from_dkim" looks sane in the logs and have -10 to -16 
scores
because no bayes hit and no other tags - only that 3 messages which looks 
questionable
