2) The kicker is that I want all other (non-whitelisted senders) mail to be

filtered elsewhere. I think if I can come up with a maildrop script that accomplishes #1 above, this may not be too hard, but I am concerned about two things:

a) Reading in a (possibly big) whitelist from a file or database during

maildrop execution may not be efficient(?) and may be hard to code in maildrop script language

There are some filtering statements that are geared towards this situation, see the lookup() function in the maildropfilter man page. It's going to be as fast as reading a list of regular expressions from a file, and applying them.

I tested lookup() and it works perfectly. I am wondering, however, is there any
way to perform a database lookup (MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc) from maildrop
filtering language?

No.
