Bypass spam scan based on header

[Jim Flowers]

My solution was to add a small hack to the CreateList subroutine (line 112) in
 SQLBlackWhiteList.pm to add a list of names to the whitelist hash just before
it returns.  As written, these email addresses are whitelisted globally (for
all users) in MailScanner.  The same technique could be used for a per-domain
or per-user basis with a bit more code.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
if ($type eq 'whitelist') {
    my $fh = new FileHandle;
    my $filename = "/usr/local/share/assp/whitelist";
    $fh->open("< $filename") or die "Cannot open config file $filename, $!";
    while(<$fh>) {
        chomp;
        s/^#.*$//;
        s/^\s*//g;
        s/\s*$//g;
        next if /^$/;
        if(/^([^@]+@[^@]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}).*$/) { # validate and strip off
trailing digits
            $BlackWhite->{'default'}{$1} = 1;
            }
        }
    close $fh;
    }
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In this case the names in /usr/local/share/assp/whitelist are of the form
username at domain.tld and also have a trailing ^B[0-9]* that is removed by the
regexp.  This expression may have to be modified to suit the file format.

This subroutine is run on startup and at least every 15 minutes.
