The comment on the change is:
add a note about what the trust means

If you want to configure SpamAssassin with more information, you can:
* set 'internal_networks' to include the hosts that act as MX for your domains, or that may deliver mail internally in your organisation.
- * set 'trusted_networks' to include the same hosts and networks as 'internal_networks', with the addition of some hosts that are external to your organisation which you trust to not be under the control of spammers. For example, very high-volume mail relays at other ISPs, or mailing list servers.

For example, very high-volume mail relays at other ISPs, or mailing list servers. Note that it doesn't matter if the server ''relays'' spam to you from other hosts; that still means you trust the server ''not to originate spam'', which is what 'trusted_networks' specifies.
By giving SpamAssassin more info about your network setup, it can perform some tests better, increase accuracy, and reduce load.
