There should be something in the headers of the
messages from your own e-commerce system that you
can use to recognize those messages. Put a
procmail recipe in to route them directly through
to delivery without even feeding them to
spamassassin

I might be tempted to look for the ip address of
my webserver in a Received: header - I would
expect the e-mail to all originate on one ip
address until the ISP changes it to all originate
on another ip address.

Another approach would be to add a header,

  X-Password: This is from me

and switch on that.

Either way, something that is as clean and
reproducible as e-mail you are assembling in a
computer program should be recognized in a
special-purpose recipe and routed around
spamassassin, you don't need artificial
intelligence to identify it as ham and this will
improve the performance of your e-mail server.
