Hello,

  I'm currently working on (ie. not finished) amavisd-new + virus
scan + spamassasin - amavisd-new can do database lookups for your
preferences (scan or not, tag or delete or ...) and supports both
white and blacklists.  You might want to look into it (ie.
amavisd-new - virus and/or spam scanning could be disabled if not
desired).  Though if all you want is a simple whitelist, a quickly
written script like you suggested may be easier.
