I pulled out ultra-edit and FTP'd in auto-whitelist.pag & auto-whitelist.dir
These aren't text files. Where & how can I find and edit my white lists and black lists on my e-mail server?
First, those are the auto whitelist, aka AWL.. those files are NOT intended to be edited. That subsystem is also NOT a true white or blacklist.. check the FAQ for details about how the AWL really works. If you think it's just a whitelist, you really should read the FAQ before tinkering with it, it's definitely not what you think it is.
If you want to view the AWL database contents, you can use the check_whitelist tool that comes in the SA tarball. It's located in the tools subdirectory.
You can manually erase entries in the AWL by using spamassassin --remove-addr-from-whitelist. There are also some related score adjustment commands in the docs.
However, if you really want to add "real" whitelist entries, edit your /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf or ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs and add whitelist_from_rcvd, whitelist_to, or blacklist_from statements. Even those have some limitations but they are substantially less prone to weird behaviors than the AWL. (one limitation example is that SA can't always detect the actual recipient of a message, so whitelist_to may have no effect on bcc'ed messages if your MTA doesn't drop hints into the message headers)
