This is already an existing feature in CustomConfig.pm (you'll find this 
in /usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner for the RPM version), though you'll 
  need to enable it MailScanner.conf

Have a look at these in MailScanner.conf (my values)
Is Definitely Not Spam = &ByDomainSpamWhitelist
Is Definitely Spam = &ByDomainSpamBlacklist
Definite Spam Is High Scoring = yes

You can not only have domain based, but also per email-id based black / 
whitelists using this (simple to use) Custom Function. Also you can; not 
only black / whitelist domains but also "Full email ids" and "IP Addresses"

If you need something easier, use mailwatch 1.0.2 and the SQL based 
black / whitelists with a nice php based front-end.

hope that helps,
