There is an ALL_TRUSTED rule.  The default score is mild, around -1.5.
I use a much higher negative score, because spam that *originates* from
a host marked as trusted I want to identify and report (and perhaps
reconsider trusted).

So a server that relays messagse (that might be spam) and also
originates mail (that might be spam) is really probelmatic; they should
have separate machines for that, in separate ranges.

It should also be possible to have a subclass of trusted_networks that
doesn't get included in ALL_TRUSTED.
