@score_sender_maps is probably the best way to adjust a score for a
particular sender (email address or domain). This is known as 'soft'
whitelistling or 'soft' blacklisting.

@score_sender_maps = ({  # a by-recipient hash lookup table
<...>
  # site-wide opinions about senders (the '.' matches any recipient)
  '.' => [  # the _first_ matching sender determines the score boost
<...>
#  read_hash("/var/amavis/sender_scores_sitewide"),

   { # a hash-type lookup table (associative array)
     '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'                     => -1.0,
     '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'                        => -3.0,
     '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'              => -3.0,
     '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'                    => -3.0,
<...>

You can either place the sender in amavisd.conf, in the same place
these examples are, or in a file you create. You would of course
uncomment the read_hash line. There are a number of ways to create files, but
often you create them by simply editing them. For example:

vi /var/amavis/sender_scores_sitewide

If you are not familiar with the vi editor, then you could use 'nano',
but you should learn enough about vi to be able to edit a file with it.

This example assumes you have a /var/amavis directory (the home
directory of the amavisd-new user).

The format of this file is: sender on the left, score adjustment on the right.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] -1.0
daimlerchrysler.com -3.0
.fordmotorcompany.com -2.0

that was an example of
a particular sender
a domain
a domain and any subdomain of that domain

It should be obvious a negative number decreases the final spam score, and
a positive score increases it.
