It didn't work, but I'm beginning to think there's a problem with my perl installation. strings seems to work. > Then, use your favorite text editor to edit the "addresses" file, trim it > down to list just those addresses you want to remove from the AWL.

I tried it (using the edited output of strings) without any luck. Maybe because spamassassin -R expects a real email? I've restarted my whitelist from scratch (I don't /dev/null anything without at least looking at who it's from anyway). Thanks for trying. Actually, now I know about spamassassin -R, which I missed in checking the documentation on the website (moral: use --help first), which could be useful if the whitelist gets corrupted again. -- The honorary degree is a way of honoring a pompous ass.
