I have to ask. Do you realize that you would not simply put email
addresses in your file? You would put RECIPIENT email addresses in
your file. You would include RECIPIENTS who do not want their mail
checked for spam. If this is not what you are trying to do then you
are using the wrong mechanism. Typically you would want to whitelist
senders.
In @score_sender_maps there is a line:
# read_hash("/var/amavis/sender_scores_sitewide"),
You could uncomment and configure this to read your
existing file, but the file would have to be modified to
include a negative score for each sender, e.g.:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] -10
[EMAIL PROTECTED] -10
Alternately (but not as nice as soft whitelisting) is hard
whitelisting (that would not require adding scores):
@whitelist_sender_maps = read_hash("/var/amavis/whitelist_sender");
With the format of the whitelist_sender file:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
.example.org
Remember that senders can be forged. If you actually need to bypass
spam scanning, then you would need to use a policy bank.
