Hmm, this looks excessive. I don't need a map, just a list. What's the
canonical lookup just to check if the string is listed in a file?

PS in olden times, I think I could write something like

acl_not_smtp:
     accept condition           = ${lookup{$authenticated_sender}lsearch{/etc/mail/whitelist.local}}
     discard message


and it used to work. Then, for some reason, someone introduced all those
ifs and bools and made them obligatory in ACL conditions.
