It biases that senders AWL statistics by pretending they sent a message that scored +100 and recording it in the AWL db. This effect is somewhat temporary, as over time the number of emails will reduce the impact this has. It's largely intended for correcting errors in the AWL, and not intended to be used as a real blacklist mechanism.
There are no command line options that actually blacklist a sender with a static blacklist_from command. If you want to truly blacklist an address, you have to do it using a blacklist_from command in your /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf or similar config file.
