Trusted_networks has nothing to do with whether or not a message is
scanned for spam. Trusted_networks is simply a list of the servers
and networks that you trust not to forge header information.
OK. On this particular situation, what I'm trying to do is designate
several other server/network/IP addresses as trusted. Because the
servers reside in several different co-lo facilities, the IP addresses
are from unrelated external networks, not on a local subnet.
Thus, if I'm running SpamAssassin on server xx.yy.zz.ww, and I get a
message from server aa.bb.cc.dd, I want both servers to trust each
other, because I control both servers, and there's no intermediate relay
between the two.
If all of the servers a message passes through are in your
trusted_networks list, then the ALL_TRUSTED rule will fire and lower
the score. Otherwise, it has no direct effect on the spam score. It
does, however, take a large role in much of the header processing that
SA does, so it is in your best interest to keep it accurate.
I'll take a look that the ALL_TRUSTED rule, and see how that behaves.
If that doesn't get me where I need to go, I'll see about what I can do
about bypassing SpamAssassin checks for known trusted servers in
MIMEDefang, as suggested by another poster in this thread.
