Some ensurance about the sender validity must be used, and based on that, a policy bank can be loaded which lifts the banning rules restrictions. There is intentionally no simple mechanism to do that based on only the sender's claimed e-mail address. Are you refering to incoming or outgoing mail? For outgoing mail one can load a policy bank based on client's IP address. For incoming mail, a policy bank can be loaded based on a DKIM signature in a message using the @author_to_policy_bank_maps. With the AM.PDP protocol, there is another way of loading a policy bank. The AM.PDP request can specify a list of policy banks to be loaded, e.g.: policy_bank=SMTP_AUTH,TLS,ORIGINATING,MYNETS,... I don't know if Petr's milter supports this feature, it's been available since amavisd-new-2.5.0 .
