It would be interesting how you will try to "figure out a way to bless
stuff that I know is ham" out of all the incoming e-mails.
Perhaps you'd like to build a database of "trusted senders", because
the users on your system can do that for you if you ask/prod them to,
using some easy to use web ui, but even that still seems a long shot to
me! They are not likely to be very responsive.

DSPAM has that idea already and does whitelist senders. Perhaps you can
consider running DSPAM and SpamAssassin together. However, the only
instances I have seen that done are where the admins use SA results to
train DSPAM.

I'd say this: DSPAM has no load at all, if load is your concern, so
think about embracing it.
