Hello John,
Q1: how did these addresses (which are all pretty obviously spam and
none of which are in our own domain) get into the AWL to begin with?
They came in and were delivered. You don't know what AWL thinks about
them. Why do you think it should only take mail from your domain?
Chris is probably being confused (as many have been) by the "whitelist"
part of "auto-whitelist".
Chris, AWL is a score averager. The name is misleading. It has nothing to
do with trying to automatically score mail associated with your domain as
ham.
A question about AWL... addresses that get into AWL for score averaging, if
we run sa-learn on messages, will the senders of those messages be then
removed from AWL consideration? I also get confused seeing messages with an
AWL hit, but I'm hoping that if I run spam through sa-learn it will remove
the AWL hit next time around?
If Bayes is done in SQL, does the AWL also get kept in AWL?
Thanks
Ricardo
