Your right the WhiteList problem does seem to be Horde.  But why would the
AWL value of gone so high suddenly?  Is slowly dropping but still at 19.
Thanks for your help.

Really, that sounds like a bug in horde. However, I have absolutely zero
knowledge about horde, I only know SpamAssassin and MailScanner.

Really, I'd suggest getting in touch with the admin of your mailserver and
ask them why the whitelists aren't working. Baring that, you might ask
around on a horde related list or check the horde wiki:

Yes, sounds like somehow your wife managed to send a message with a very
high score, and that got averaged in. A long time ago SA's AWL would average
in GTUBE scores, and this problem was rather common after someone did a
"test message"
using GTUBE. However, that's fixed in recent versions of SA.


Really, since you're only using SpamAssassin indirectly, I don't think most
people here will be able to give you a whole lot of useful advice. This list
is mostly mail system admins and people who are actually in full control of
their spamassassin setup. While we can help you by explaining how things
work, most of our fixes for problems involve adjusting config files or
installing new software packages.
