That would be the Auto WhiteList, which is a feature that causes mail
which has successfully been sent to you to cause other mail to be so
designated. In other words, if Alice sends Bob several non-spam
messages, SpamAssassin assumes Alice is a non-spammer and will add a
negative score to messages from her. Your Amanda cron job seems to be in
this category.
