Yes, I think, without raising log level to 5 or changing the code

The easiest way to get a special log entry is to modify the log level
for the relevant line in amavisd-new:

Find this line (using amavisd-new 2.11.1):
do_log(5,'wbl: recip <%s> whitelisted sender <%s>', $recip,$sender);
and change 5 to 0, then restart amavis

Note: as this extra logging will reveal, whitelisting works against
*both* the envelope sender address and against the 'From' header
address. IMO this is a bit unsafe, so I have changed it in mine to
skip the envelope sender.
