Vicki, the problem is that if the trust path is not "set correctly" a
LARGE number of rules in SA would have to be disabled. Not just
"ALL_TRUSTED". SA very heavily depends on the trust path to figure out
what host delivered mail to your network.

Realistically, ALL_TRUSTED misfiring here is in some ways a warning sign
that you have serious problems.

Other problems include:
       DUL and dynamic style RBLS false-firing on properly relayed messages
       DUL/dynamic RBLs not firing on direct-delivered spam
       whitelist_from_rcvd not firing when it should
       whitelist_from_rcvd matching spam messages with faked headers.
       ditto for RCVD_IN_BSP_TRUSTED
       ditto for HELO_DYNAMIC_*
       FAKE_HELO_MAIL_COM_DOM not matching when it should (FP unlikely)

Shall I go on?
