Not a good idea. If ALL_TRUSTED is firing when it shouldn't, there are
two possibilities:
1. The trust path is not set correctly.
2. There is a bug in SpamAssassin.
In the vast majority of cases, it's #1, which means that a lot more than
ALL_TRUSTED is going to be broken until that trust path is set. SA will
use the wrong Received: headers for RBL lookups, whitelist_from_rcvd
rules won't necessarily work right, etc.
3. The Spamassassin library is being run by Mimedefang.
If mail comes from a host we trust, or comes with smtp auth, we don't
run the Spamassassin tests.
We do RBL with Mimedefang, not Spamassassin.
whitelist_from_rcvd definitely works.
It looks like this rule is there to un-do damage from running standalone
Spamassassin on all mail. If you use Mimedefang to select what to test,
you've already excluded mail you trust.
