There is of course no way to know whether the email really is from the from address, which is what the AWL triggers on. This is to some extent a flaw in the AWL, but those are the tradeoffs for the reduction in false-positives the AWL provides. Checking if From/To are the same before using AWL would not be all that effective; people frequently Cc themselves. Imagine the following: From: Craig Hughes To: Charlie Watts, Craig Hughes Now, do we run that through the AWL? How about: From: Craig Hughes To: Craig Hughes Cc: Charlie Watts of From: Craig Hughes To: Craig Hughes Cc: Craig's Friend Bcc: Charlie Watts ?
