Ok, I can see that in some setups you can trust any mail that was sent locally
as much as you can a whitelist and you could increase the default negative
score of ALL_TRUSTED to act as a whitelist. That's even more likely to be true
in an
environment where local mail shows up as being received by localhost rather
than an external ip address. For example, if I get mail on my ISP account sent
by someone else who uses the same ISP, then it hits ALL_TRUSTED. I would not
want to whitelist it, but the helo shows an ip address other than localhost
because it still goes through an smtp server out and an mx server in.

But that's a workaround that will not apply everywhere. It may be reason enough
to not try to fix this, i.e., perhaps we tell the person who files this report
that they should either set up separate smtp out and mx in ip addresses or use
a beefed up score in ALL_TRUSTED instead of whitelist_from_rcvd to deal with
those addresses.
