Thanks!
Ok, I used the check-whitelist tool and sure enough, my entry that I'm
trying to remove is:
16.5 (329.3/20) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]|ip=142.179
So I still have the same problem - I run:
# spamassassin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re-check with the "check-whitelist" and I get:
16.5 (329.3/20) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]|ip=142.179
No change.
Any other help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Jason

Mildly dangerous. The AWL file may contain data that's no longer "live"
- it's a mini-database.

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.)

Get your mouse off of there! You don't know where that email has been!
