Hmmm: So the AWL has completely changed from stopping repeat spammers from getting through and allowing a person who normally sends good email who sends you that 1 spam email to still get through TO a system where a spammer who sends consistent spam emails will eventually *break through* and be allowed in???
I thought the AWL was designed to stop spammers from getting through period by tracking their scores? So it seems with 2.42, it now works *only* as an auto whitelist, with no real blacklist ability as it had before... Just trying to clarify how the new system works, as I am seeing more spam get through (5-10 per day as opposed to 1-2) with 2.42. Rob M. > > I too am seeing very weird things with 2.42 and AWL.
