My server handles exactly one mailbox: my own. I am running SA 2.60 through MimeDefang, with some MimeDefang changes to enable AWL processing.
I've noticed an increasing amount of spam getting through that uses the age-old trick of forging my address in the From: line. This somehow triggers the AWL; since the AWL is keyed to both IP address and name, I'm not sure how that's happening. As I understand it, [EMAIL PROTECTED]|ip=none (that is, my own outbound mail) should be a different "sender" to AWL than [EMAIL PROTECTED]|ip=218.166 (spam forged in my name). When I run check_auto_whitelist, I see the following entries: [EMAIL PROTECTED]|ip=218.166 8 [EMAIL PROTECTED]|ip=none|totscore -3.603 [EMAIL PROTECTED]|ip=218.166|totscore 0.794 [EMAIL PROTECTED]|ip=none 2 The spam below comes from 218.166, so it should get a positive boost from AWL, yet according to spamassassin -D -t, it is actually getting a negative score: debug: auto-whitelist (db-based): [EMAIL PROTECTED]|ip=218.166 scores 7/-6.751 debug: AWL active, pre-score: 7.545, mean: -0.964428571428572, originating-ip: 218.166.57.150 debug: add_score: New count: 8, new totscore: 0.794 debug: Post AWL score: 3.29028571428571 ...
