It received a score of 14 because it is in the auto white-list.
Shouldn't it receive a negative score?

Despite its name, the AWL is a score averager, based on the sender's
history (limited by net-block).

I encountered that misconception so much that I altered its description
it in my local.cf:

describe AWL    Adjust score towards average for this sender

As a reminder, SVN trunk uses:

describe AWL    From: address is in the auto white-list


Even if we don't change what "AWL" means, we don't need to spell it out
as often.  Cleaning up the docs would certainly be useful, but simply
changing the description would cover most of the ground for us.

Open a boog for it.
