Nothing prevents you from trusting external hosts, you should do it as
necessary.

Here we go again..

internal_networks = internal/external
trusted_networks = trusted/untrusted

Both define borders which things are checked against. Internal is your
"MX-border", against which SPF and RBL checks are made (all internal must be
in trusted also). Trusted can expand further to prevent RBL checks against
trusted hosts and allows kind of whitelisting with ALL_TRUSTED rule.
