Spam-Lover

All messages to Spam-Lovers are processed by ASSP, but not blocked. The notable exception are messages with multiple recipients, including Spam-Lovers. When a Spam-Lover is not the sole recipient of a message, the message is processed normally, and if it is found to be spam, it will not be delivered to the Spam-Lover.

Spam-Hater

Spam-Haters are used to override Spam-Lovers. Let's say you set your entire domain as a Spam-Lover, but you have a few addresses you still want to have ASSP block messages for. Adding those addresses to the Spam-Haters field allows messages sent to only those addresses to be blocked while still allowing the messages to the other Spam-Lovers to pass through. The message will only be blocked if all Spam-Lover recipients are also Spam-Haters.
