Matt,
Thank you for your reply. To everybody else who got on this topic and
helped Robert :-)))
Does the score
score ALL_TRUSTED -1.360
work only with
trusted_networks <IP_addresses>
?
As I mentioned I had the problem with AWL and turned it off. I now tend to
enable it, but am afraid it has old scores in it.
- Is there any way to display what it has?
- Do you think I should zero out everything in AWL and start from scratch?
How do I do that?
Thank you for the help. I appreciate it very much.
Irina
