Hi,

I had two spam messages (files s1 and s2) not filtered by SA with my usual
setup, so I tried whether enabling RBLs would help. I did help with one
message but noticed somethind odd by the way:

jk@jan:/tmp$ spamc -c < s1
- -0.4/5.0
jk@jan:/tmp$ spamc -c < s1
- -1.4/5.0
jk@jan:/tmp$ spamc -c < s1
- -2.5/5.0
jk@jan:/tmp$ spamc -c < s1
- -3.7/5.0
jk@jan:/tmp$ spamc -c < s2
6.9/5.0
jk@jan:/tmp$ spamc -c < s2
6.3/5.0
jk@jan:/tmp$ spamc -c < s2
4.2/5.0
jk@jan:/tmp$ spamc -c < s2
4.2/5.0

I guess this is an AWL issue and would probably not be problem unless you
recheck messages while debugging/testing but doesn't this have the
side-effect of allowing a heavy spammer to pass through SA.

man spamd says

       -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.
           This can increase or decrease the score for messages,
           depending on the long-term behavior of the particular
           correspondent.  See the README file for more details.

README doesn't contradict.

This explanation of the AWL feature does not match my guess above. Can
anyone explain that to me?
