this is exactly why SpamAssassin exposes its rule system.
header MY_WHITELIST X-My-Whitelist-Header =~ /yes/
describe MY_WHITELIST Contains my whitelist header
score MY_WHITELIST -100
Just cut and paste those lines into /etc/mail/spamassassin/mywhitelist.cf;
easy! And you can use any header you like.
Patrick -- similar would apply for whitelisting on subject; use
header MY_WHITELIST Subject =~ /magictag/
(BTW this should probably be a FAQ ;)
