How to use @sa_userconf_maps for white-/blacklisting in Amavis 2.7.0

[SB]

Just to make sure it doesn't have a simple reason:

The local.cf file is otherwise correctly read and processed, and the
whitelist works correctly as well when looked up by spamd/spamc. So it
must be some problem specific to the amavis/spamassassin setting.

Thanks,
