From the man page for clamav-milter.conf

Whitelist STRING
This option specifies a file which contains a list of basic POSIX regular
expressions. Addresses (sent to or from - see below) matching these regexes
will not be scanned. Optionally each line can start with the string "From:"
or "To:" (note: no whitespace after the colon) indicating if it is,
respectively, the sender or recipient that is to be whitelisted. If the
field is missing, "To:" is assumed. Lines starting with #, : or ! are
ignored.
However, with the whitelist set as defined in my original message, emails
from [email protected] are still scanned and, indeed, flagged as infected. I
would like messages from emails that match the whitelist to be excluded from
the scan.
My first thought would be to whitelist those emails in your MTA
(mailserver) so that it does not pass them to ClamAV.
Which MTA are you using ?
