You need to slip user control in there somewhere. Say Customers A and B
absolutely insist on getting mail from server outmail.example.com and
everyone else is sure all mail from there is spam.

Yes, you could yellowlist outmail.example.com and deal with per-user
SpamAssassin (or pre-SpamAssassin) setings for it. There might be a better
way.

I am NOT saying I don't like your idea.

Organizationally, it would be difficult to implement sitting in the United
States, with all the lawyers we have sitting around looking for fees.
