The supplied white/blacklists are for spam, and are really more like
functional examples...:-).
Theoretically you could add the same functions as you did for spam on
the Virus Scanning and dangerous Content scanning settings... Letting
lusers decide whether they should check for viruses from some
senders.... wouldn't be my cup of tea, to say the least, but .... it
should work. Or use traditional MailScanner rulesets instead, so that
you keep the administrative control... (msre is nice if you do that,
and still want a webGUI for it)... Check out the MailScanner wiki for
ideas and examples and links (http://wiki.mailscanner.info)...
