I'm going to have to break down soon and use Bayes :) Just to keep up with
you guys. Spam wise, I'm catching about the same percentage without it. That
says something! However for someone who doesn't want to stare blindly at
spam headers/source I can see the gleam of Bayes ;)

Anything not caught is subjected to my wrath, printed, torn, crunched, then
eaten! OK, I just look at it at write a rule.

The AWL is basically because we get new customers all the time. Asian
customers seem to like to have 15 different email addies to drive me insane!
So the AWL has been a huge timesaver there. Spoofing if now caught with some
rules. Not many people use it, but it does help some. 

This just shows how cool SA is. Able to change per different environments.
I'm amazed at what you do with only user privileges, Bob!
