Mildly dangerous. The AWL file may contain data that's no longer "live" - it's a mini-database. > [EMAIL PROTECTED]|ip=142.179 > [EMAIL PROTECTED]|ip=none|totscore > [EMAIL PROTECTED]|ip=none > > I see the [EMAIL PROTECTED] address in here and when I send email, > sure enough it gets points due to AWL.

Are you checking using the "cat autowhitelist|...." command you showed first? That won't actually tell you whether the address has been removed, because the data is not deleted - just marked as "space available for new data". Try using check_whitelist to dump the "live" data in your AWL file. You should be able to find that script at /usr/share/doc/spamassassin-tools-3.0.x/tools/check_whitelist. (Exact location may vary; that's where one RPM build put it, from the spamassassin-tools package.) -kgd -- Get your mouse off of there! You don't know where that email has been!
