Can you share this 'patch' ? (or is is there already something included
in spamass-milter for this in 0.1.3a ?)
I also have a mailserver that needs to send out a few thousand emails
(mailinglist)
Now all these emails are being scanned, which takes some time
Would be nice to say: I trust these subnets, so don't scan them with
spamassassin

(I looked at the whitelist option from spamassassin, but then these
mails are still being scanned (they only get -100 points for being on
the whitelist)
