I'm just trying to understand, how AWL works.

As I have understood, AWL is like a longterm score for senders. When 
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> sends a message with positive score (>5), then her 
longterm score should increase. When <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> sends s message 
with score below 5, then longterm score should decrease.

I made some tests (required_hits = 5):
0) cat sample-spam.txt | spamassassin -R  # clearing all AWL scores
1) cat sample-spam.txt | spamassassin -aD
        Pre AWL score: 15.8, Post AWL score: 15.8
2) cat sample-spam.txt | spamassassin -aD
        Pre AWL score: 15.8, Post AWL score: 15.8
3) cat sample-spam.txt | spamassassin -aD
        Pre AWL score: 15.8, Post AWL score: 14.6
4) cat sample-spam.txt | spamassassin -aD
        Pre AWL score: 15.8, Post AWL score: 13.3

Honestly, I don't understand: the more spam-mail are sent, the lesser 
will be scores! Why?


Below are complete debug messages about those commands.
