Thank you. Yes, we are also filter outgoing mails - mainly because 
here we have quite frequent cases of abuse of user accounts (mainly 
students), leading to spamming from our mailserver.
RSPAMD is a good helper for early detection of account abuse, among 
other things.
And recently it even caught a mail from crackers SW Medusa, which sent 
stolen login information to some mail address in the world.

That's why I wouldn't want to whitelist all outgoing mail.
And I would probably be able to write some ?selector? map to whitelist 
emails from our domain to our domain - but if it were possible to make 
it more precise/refined to whitelist only specific types of attachments 
or to nullify the effect of penalizing some symbols (MIME_BAD_EXTENSION, 
MIME_BAD_ATTACHMENT, MIME_BASE64_TEXT, R_MIXED_CHARSET,...), that would 
be even better.
But my knowledge of RSPAMD is far from reaching these heights now... :(
I would be very happy if someone could advise me.
