Description

The amavisd/SenderWhitelist prop is honoured by amavisd to bypass spam checks. Anyway, Postfix still enforces reject_unknown_sender_domain rule in smtpd_sender_restrictions. Thus a mail from a non existent domain can't be delivered even if the sender domain is whitelisted.

Honour amavisd/SenderWhitelist prop in smtpd_sender_restrictions.

[ Rif Nethesis 2014061110000058 ]

Example scenario: some internal servers (with a .local domain) send email notifications to NethServer. Emails are refused because the sender domain does not exist.
