Explanation
When a sender domain is on the safelist, antispam scanning (D) is bypassed - messages from safelisted senders are delivered without being evaluated for spam content. However, antivirus scanning, outbreak filters, and message filters are still applied, because safelisting is specifically an antispam bypass mechanism and does not grant immunity from malware or policy enforcement. This distinction is important: safelists protect legitimate senders from false-positive spam verdicts but do not exempt their messages from security scanning.
