You are need to add some rules to amavis.conf*, before change it, may you need change file permission on this file and change to 711, how do it? Like this:
[cumibuntung@mx1-prm ~]$ sudo /bin/chmod 711 /opt/zimbra/conf/amavisd.conf*
After that, You will be able to modify amavisd.conf* files. What should to do?
To adding whitelist and blacklist, you need to put whitelist and/or blacklist users or domoain into files. list. Im using vi editor for make whitelist and blacklist files, like this:
[cumibuntung@mx1-prm ~]$ sudo vi/etc/zimbra/whitelist <----listing of whitelist account

read_hash(\%whitelist_sender, '/etc/zimbra/whitelist');
read_hash(\%blacklist_sender, '/etc/zimbra/blacklist');
read_hash(\%spam_lovers, '/etc/zimbra/spamlovers');
A spamlovers list is for that accounts that always need to receive all messages, even if spam. According to rfc 2822 postmaster, abuse and other account of this kind should be spam lovers.
