The AWL is not a whitelist. Please repeat this out loud 5 times. No really. It's not. Don't think of it as one. The name "AWL" is misleading and as a member of the SpamAssassin Project Management Committee, I can say we've talked about changing it many times, mostly because it misleads people such as yourself. Positive AWL scores assigned to nonspam senders, even "intranet" users is ****NORMAL****! Provided that the AWL isn't pushing the total score over your required_score and making them get tagged as spam, this is perfectly normal and does not mean the AWL thinks the sender is a spammer. Period. Blank your conceptions about what the AWL is, and read: http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/AwlWrongWay > Right then spamassassin --remove-addr-from-whitelist > > is that spamassassin --remove-addr-from-whitelist <friendly e-mail address>? > > That command deletes the AWL entries for a given sender and erases their score history. However, please make sure you get your brain around what the AWL really is, and how it really works, before mucking around.
