We're considering doing this for a few domains (eBay comes to mind) once we have reliable confirmation that the domains both (i) think they want us to do it, and (ii) are reliably signing things so we can do it without creating a support nightmare for us because of problems at the signing domain.


I haven't looked into the Spamassassin implementation either, but a
useful capability would be to allow creation of a local whitelist of
known reliable domains.  If messages coming from one of these domains is
authenticated (using whatever technology), give it a positive score or
bypass content filtering entirely.  This doesn't require the use of any
policy mechanism, and helps with the false positives problem.

We've done this since day one for DKIM, a couple years ago for SPF and recently for DK (I was hoping it would die faster).

SA 3.2.0 also includes a "whitelist_auth" option that allows you to whitelist based on DKIM/DK/SPF without the user having to know which of DKIM/DK/SPF the domain uses.
