The SpamAssassin AWL is not actually a whitelist. It's a score
averaging system.

Typical ways to whitelist in SA include whitelist_from and
whitelist_from_rcvd. These typically look for sender addresses
in the headers (but may also look at the envelope address):
http://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.2.x/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Conf.html#whitelist_and_blacklist_options

Read amavisd.conf-sample and search for whitelist (or WHITELIST). You
will see at least three ways (plus some hints on how the SQL
whitelist/blacklist works) to do static domain wide or per-recipient
soft or hard whitelisting. If you want SQL wbl you should read:
http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/README.sql.txt and
http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/README.sql-mysql.txt
It's my understanding that SQL based wbl is always per recipient (but
the recipient may be a domain). Note that implementing SQL may change
the way amavisd-new performs lookups because results from SQL queries
may override static settings (due to the order in which lookups are
performed). See:
http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/README.lookups.txt

At first it took me some work to get my head around SQL based wbl but
since I don't use SQL in amavisd-new on a regular basis I can tell you
that glancing at it again now I would have to spend a little time to
once again familiarize myself. In other words, it was not obvious to
me.
