Thanks a lot Matt, for this detailed information.
I understood AWL as a score averaging system. However, the only point
that concerned me was AWL ratings, that elevated SPAM messages up to a
summarized negative value (and thus non SPAM) -- although I only
received SPAM from that addresses.
I have deleted those mails from the AWL and watch it.
