Note: If using Postfix you might consider bypassing amavisd-new for
local system generated messages by overriding the content_filter for
the pickup service in master.cf:

pickup    fifo  n       -       -       60      1       pickup
    -o content_filter=
    -o receive_override_options=no_header_body_checks

as an alternative to whitelisting mail from root (for example).
