Penpal configuration help

Assuming your redis settings are fine ( @storage_redis_dsn ),
for pen-pals to work the penpals_bonus_score must be defined
and nonzero. From release notes:

* configuration variable $penpals_bonus_score must be set to a positive
   value (such as 1.0, increase to perhaps 5 or 8 after seeing that it 
works),
   zero disables the feature and is a default;

Other important pre-requisites for penpals:

* @mynetworks and @local_domains_maps must reflect reality, allowing 
amavisd
   to distinguish between outgoing, incoming and internal-to-internal 
mail;

* the information about client IP address must be available to amavisd,
   i.e. Postfix XFORWARD protocol extension must be enabled, or 
AM.PDP+milter;

(references to SQL in that part of release notes can be ignored
if you are using a Redis server).
