Apparently you previously (maybe not this week) received one that scored
4.2.  The averaging tool brought the score half-way between the new
score and the old score.  The effect is that if a good guy tends to send
mail that scores 1.0, then one bad message (scoring, say, 7.0) won't get
tossed.  Similarly, if a brigand tends to send mail scoring 20, and he
manages to miss all of the rules for one message, it will still be
dropped.

Don't get hung up on the "white" part of AWL.  It's just as much an
automatic black list.
