If internal_networks and trusted_networks are set up properly, one
could assume mail from ALL_TRUSTED is outbound (rather it originates
from your network - not exactly the same thing). This meta rule would
also hit on mail from one internal client to another however:

header   __GV_SUB_SS   Subject =~ /specialstring/
meta     GV_SPECIAL     __GV_SUB_SS && ALL_TRUSTED
score    GV_SPECIAL     20.0
describe GV_SPECIAL     Special subject string and ALL_TRUSTED
