Yes, of course. What would the SPAM whitelist have to do with
Dangerous Content scanning? Nothing, of course:-).
This is a rule in filename.rules.conf that trigger. To "whitelist"
that, look at this wiki page:
http://wiki.mailscanner.info/doku.php?id=documentation:configuration:rulesets:overloading
... To easily create a filename.whitelist.rules.conf, just copy the
existing file and change every deny (in the first column) to accept
... then apply that as described on the page;-)

Yes, with a ruleset on the "Scan Messages" setting ...

You can use the Archive Depth thing to control this. Has been covered
in the past. Look in the archives.
