And how does SA distinguish 'legit senders who habitually score just

I must have missed the discussion about this AWL behaviour :-/
My expectation would be, that the AWL value for a certain address/ip
combination would approach a long term average, and not move
to the negative side over time...

       -a, --auto-whitelist, --whitelist
           Use auto-whitelists.  Auto-whitelists track the long-
           term average score for each sender and then shift the
           score of new messages toward that long-term average.
