Global Whitelist vs Spam Sender Whitelist

Hi
I'm wondering what I can do with Global Whitelist that I can't do with Spam Sender Whitelist using *@domain.com. Specifically in relation to my earlier post: https://community.sophos.com/products/unified-threat-management/astaroorg/f/51/t/16944

  • The Spam sender whitelist only skips spam scanning.

    The Global Whitelist skips:
    - Sender Verification
    - RBLs
    - Header syntax checks
    - MIME checking
    - Extension filter
    - Regex Filter
    - Spam scanning

    So you should put host or domains there that you explicitly trust not to send you crap. Please note that the trusted domain list could be abused, since sender addresses can be easily faked.

    Is there any way to NOT scan emails destined for particular addresses ? i.e. all emails destined for joe@abc.com bypass SpamAssassin.

    thx,
