I still don't see wht a whitelist is necessary if a positive check from
spamassassin shunts incoming messages to a moderation queue.  We can
presumably tweak spamassassin to the point where false positives are
rare enough to not burden the moderators too much.

I trust that no one's still advocating automatic blackholing of any
mail, even ones that bury the needle on spamassassin.
