I've upgraded two machines so far today and I'm seeing AWL hits that *reduce* the score of obvious spam.
This in and of itself is not a problem, unless it's causing false negatives.
It's impossible for the AWL to always give positive scores to spam, unless the scores of spam are constantly decreasing, in which case you are going to have FN problems soon.
Yup, I understand how the whole AWL works but my problem is that border line spam is being dropped to ham. Example: A normal markup of 5.6 and an AWL score of -0.8 drops it below the average user required_hits of 5 and does not get marked as spam.
I'll let it run over night and see how many false negatives I see but from what I'm seeing right now it just doesn't appear to work on servers processing 200 or 500K messages a day.
