disclaimer: i never used spamdb.
if the output of spamdb | grep "^WHITE|189\.25\." | awk -F \| '{print
$2}' is like
189.25.6.3
189.25.45.45
and so on, and the right invocation of spamdb -d is
spamdb -d 189.25.6.3
spamdb -d 189.25.45.45
then you may try
for ip in `spamdb | grep "^WHITE|189\.25\." | awk -F \| '{print $2}'
`; do spamdb -d $ip; done
