After sending a mail to myself with the GTUBE string, I find that my
address's AWL score goes from a small negative number to over 160.
Thus, although the GTUBE test works fine, it has the side effect that
subsequent mails to myself are marked as spam.

I figured out that entering "echo 'From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]' | spamassassin
-RD" fixes the problem.  However, this may be a bit subtle for new
SpamAssassin and AWL users.

Would it be fairly simple to have messages with GTUBE not contribute to
the AWL, given that GTUBE is not a reliable indicator of future spam
from an address?

Also, the standard procmail example from the distribution and FAQ
<http://spamassassin.org/dist/procmailrc.example> invokes spamassassin
instead of spamassassin -a.  Is there a belief that AWL is no longer a
good default with Bayes available?  They seemed like complimentary
technologies to me, but I'm wondering why AWL is not recommended by
default.
