Perhaps I'm misunderstanding things, but I've been at SA since 2.21 (now 2.60-CVS) and my IMAP mbox is 296MB large. Everything in it, apart from a spam folder, is ham. Every single mail from every sender in every single mbox file is AWLed. Many are from mailing lists. If AWLing were simply adding -100 to every poster, hundreds of posters would have -100 in his/her rating. But not a single one has. Unless I've added them to my whitelist_from. To my mind (and thank goodness), AWLing simply gives a small negative bias to plus points the poster might otherwise have incurred by getting penalties against normal standard SA rules. Brownie points, in fact. How the bias works is another matter - I've no idea. Best, Tony -- Tony Earnshaw 247,035 lemmings can't be wrong ...
