Kolab 2.2 addressbook export as spamassassin whitelist

nice idea with inotify... adapted my shell script for inotify support 
(grep/awk)... 

solved with something like (snippet):
inotifywait -e modify -e delete -e create --format '%w %e %f' <DIR>
grep -h smtp-address <DIR>/* | awk -F">" '{print $2}' | awk -F"</" '{print 
$1}' | sort | uniq > whitelist_sender

and:
read_hash(\%whitelist_sender, '/kolab/var/amavisd/whitelist_sender');
activated in amavisd.conf.

If I'll have more spare time, I will replace my simple shell script with a 
more accurate scripting language with imap admin methods (I don't know perl; 
I think the only well known language I do not know :-( I should really get in 
touch with it. There are really many tools and libs out there, that would 
help me in such cases. And this would be a small project to play with it)

thx to all.

ciao. Stefan
