i'm not sure about "auto_whitelist_path" at all, so path means directories only and files will be created as: /home/kaushal/spamass/auto-whitelist/awl-file ?! if so, create auto-whitelist too :) well, we didnt issued "auto_whitelist_path" and sa creates "auto-whitelist" db-file in ~$USER/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist. regards, Matthias
