Hi,

One thing I do not understand regarding AWL and BAYES. When a message is reported to me as spam and was not marked as spam, I test is using debug before and after sa-learn. Each time I do this, BAYES_99 does hit, but they will also include AWL.

1. Does anyone understand why this happens?
2. I also noticed that when using "spamassassin -D" on a message, I sometimes see a nice report like below (2nd example) but other times it doesn't show report formatted. Any ideas on this one?

Here are an example of two spam report headers for the same message.

Before sa-learn:

X-Spam-Status: No, score=3.982 tagged_above=-9999 required=5
tests=[ADVANCE_FEE_1=0, BAYES_60=1, SUB_HELLO=2.141, UNDISC_RECIPS=0.841]
X-Spam-Score: 3.982
X-Spam-Level: ***

After sa-learn:

Content analysis details:   (5.2 points, 5.0 required)

pts rule name              description
---- ---------------------- --------------------------------------------------
2.1 SUB_HELLO              Subject starts with "Hello"
0.8 UNDISC_RECIPS          Valid-looking To "undisclosed-recipients"
3.5 BAYES_99               BODY: Bayesian spam probability is 99 to 100%
                           [score: 1.0000]
0.0 ADVANCE_FEE_1          Appears to be advance fee fraud (Nigerian 419)
-1.2 AWL                    AWL: From: address is in the auto white-list

Thanks,
Randy Ramsdell
