If you running SA with amavisd-new (since 2.0) then look at _soft_ w/b listing:
@score_sender_maps in amavisd.conf
# The essential difference is that scores from _all_ matching by-recipient
# lookups (not just the first that matches) are summed to give the final
# score boost. That means that both the site and domain administrators,
# as well as the recipient can have a say on the final score.
Or you can use the _hard_ w/b listing in amavisd-new:
The per-recipient lookups take precedence over the global lookups.
$per_recip_blacklist_sender_lookup_tables = {
'.my1.example.com' => [qw( [EMAIL PROTECTED] .aol.com )],
'.my2.example.com' => [qw( .aol.com )],
};
from the FAQ amavisd-new:
# + White and blacklisting in amavisd-new and as provided by SA are similar in
# concept, but different in implementation. Both can coexist, use the
mechanism
# that best suits the needs.
# - The w/b listing in SA works on information from the header (e.g. on the
# mail author -- the From: header field), and contributes large positive or
# negative score points to the score being computed.
# - The (hard) w/b listing in amavisd-new works on envelope sender address
# (i.e. the return-path). If triggered, the call to SA is skipped to save
# time, as it would not have a chance to overrule the w/b list decision
# already taken.
# - The (soft) w/b listing in amavisd-new (the @score_sender_maps, since 2.0)
# also works on envelope sender address, but only modifies the spam score
# as returned by SA, and does not bypass calling SA.
P.S.:
There are several other ways to do that in amavisd-new. I hope my examples can
help.
Look in your docs for amavisd.conf-sample. That is the traditional style, chatty
configuration file with many easy explained good examples.
