Probability of what, exactly?
It can be a probability based on historical data of the sender or an
arbitrary score.
That's not the "what" that you're measuring with the probability factor,
that's the "how" you're measuring it.
Bear in mind, "trusted" means "does not forge Received: headers", not "does
not send or relay spam".
My answer was more about levels of trust. It doesn't apply to
"trusted". As you pointed out above, that has a different meaning.
Was the OP _not_ talking about "trust" in the only context that SA uses
it, then? If so, that's what prompted my comment.
I don't see how "does/does not forge headers" can be anything but binary,
thus rendering a discussion of levels of trust meaningless in that
context. "Probability of spamming" may be a useful metric to judge a host
(witness the effectiveness of DNSBLs), but when discussing SA we should
not use the term "trust" to refer to that concept.

There is no doubt in my mind that millions of lives could have been
saved if the people were not "brainwashed" about gun ownership and
had been well armed. ... Gun haters always want to forget the Warsaw
Ghetto uprising, which is a perfect example of how a ragtag,
half-starved group of Jews took 10 handguns and made asses out of
the Nazis. -- Theodore Haas, Dachau Survivor
