# Policy Banks

Policy banks are sets of Amavis configurations that are applied to specific email senders. You can set-up policy banks to allow clients on your internal network to bypass Anti-spam/Anti-virus scanning, allowing particular senders to attach files that are banned for other senders, etc.

**MYNETS** - Mail that originated from your networks. Networks are defined under Warden -> Settings -> Content Filter Settings -> My networks
**SUBMISSION** - Mail that was sent using the submission or SMTPS services (ports 587 or 465).

**Disable spam filter** - `bypass_spam_checks_maps`
Disable the spam filter for this policy bank. Default: 0

**Disable virus filter** - `bypass_virus_checks_maps`
Disable the virus filter for this policy bank. Default: 0

**Disable banned file filter** - `bypass_banned_checks_maps`
Disable the banned file filter for this policy bank. Default: 0

**Disable bad header filter** - `bypass_header_checks_maps`
Disable the bad header filter for this policy bank. Default: 0

**Whitelist senders (Spam Filter)** - `whitelist_sender_maps`
Use envelope sender lookups to ensure delivery from whitelisted senders even if the message would be recognized as spam. Effectively, for the specified senders, message recipients temporarily become "spam\_lovers". Whitelisted senders also suppresses inserting/editing the tag2-level header fields (X-Spam-\*, Subject), appending spam address extension, and quarantining. Note: Whitelisted senders only applies to spam filter checks. All other checks will still be performed.
Default: empty
