The following page has been changed by JustinMason:
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/TrustPath

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.
