http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/AwlWrongWay Despite its name, the AWL is a score averager, based on the sender's history (limited by net-block). Given the rather high AWL score, this sender previously scored even much higher. You (or the sender) didn't happen to use it for sending some "test spam", checking SA is working? As a quick fix, I'd remove the AWL record for that address. Also see the spamassassin-run man-page. spamasassin --remove-addr-from-whitelist=u...@example.net > Content analysis details: (7.1 points, 5.0 required) > > pts rule name description > ---- ---------------------- -------------------------------------------------- > -4.0 RCVD_IN_DNSWL_MED RBL: Sender listed at http://www.dnswl.org/, > medium > trust > [72.21.212.35 listed in list.dnswl.org] > -2.6 BAYES_00 BODY: Bayesian spam probability is 0 to 1% > [score: 0.0000] > 14 AWL AWL: From: address is in the auto white-list -- char *t="\10pse\0r\0dtu\0.@ghno\x4e\xc8\x79\xf4\xab\x51\x8a\x10\xf4\xf4\xc4"; main(){ char h,m=h=*t++,*x=t+2*h,c,i,l=*x,s=0; for (i=0;i<l;i++){ i%8? c<<=1: (c=*++x); c&128 && (s+=h); if (!(h>>=1)||!t[s+h]){ putchar(t[s]);h=m;s=0; }}}
