Thanks for the responses. I am aware of the -R arg to spamassassin,
but here's what happens when I try:

ROOT@dahlia  --> ./read_dbm $PMDIR/spamassassin_auto-whitelist |
grep armstrong
[EMAIL PROTECTED]>3
[EMAIL PROTECTED]>2
ROOT@dahlia  --> echo "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" |
spamassassin -R
ROOT@dahlia  --> ./read_dbm $PMDIR/spamassassin_auto-whitelist |
grep armstrong
[EMAIL PROTECTED]>3
[EMAIL PROTECTED]>2

Nothing. Hmmmm...

I'm starting to lean toward the 'rm -f spamassassin_auto-whitelist*'
solution ;')

I didn't mean to suggest that the auto_whitelist was useless; I just
wanted some feedback as to what it was good for. Subtle distinction,
I know ;')

And thanks for the 'GA' usage correction... my mistake.

And another 'thanks' to the authors of Spamassassin. Well done.
