Correction, Benny is correct in this particular case of
[email protected], since the header of the mail does have:

To: [email protected]
or possibly
CC: [email protected]

whitelist_to in local.cf would work, but the majority of the time, mail
will be addressed to you. SpamAssassin reads the headers to determine
this, but amavisd-new uses the envelope sender. So to whitelist the
amavis list, you would actually add these to your whitelist_sender table:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

as these are the two possible envelope senders.
