Thanks for the replies. All is now clear. Though I would (politely)
request this be clarified in the entries in the docs. Thanks!

The original statement which you snippet is important, since the

Try wiping his AWL entry.
We can do that? What tool would I use?
See the spamassassin options with whitelist in the name, particularly
--remove-addr-from-whitelist.
Okay, maybe I'm misunderstanding. I was under the impression that
spamassassin had TWO 'whitelists'. One was user specified, with 'add' and
'remove' capability (and anyone removed *stayed* removed), and the other
was 'auto', which was generated automatically by AWL rules, and with NO
commands to manipulate it? Gurus? Am I wrong?
Yes, you are wrong -- although at least one fact is correct.
There are indeed two different thingies with "whitelist" in the name.
One is the black- and whitelist *configuration* options. Rather static.
Like any other configuration. See the section Whitelist and Blacklist
Options in the docs [1].
The other one is the AWL, which actually is a score averager, based on
the senders and net-block score history. This is what we're talking
about as per your question.
The "persistent address white- and blacklist" in man spamassassin-run
actually talks about the AWL, *not* the static configuration options,
and simply manipulates the existing AWL database. The adding command
just fake an email with a high (positive, black) or low (negative,
white) score. The remove options really do remove all entries for the
given email address.
Removing an address from the AWL is a single shot, and has no impact on
the future of the AWL. The sender *will* be added again. You're just
erasing the history.
