My understanding is that AWL is helping frequent senders who are known
to not send spam to "reduce" their spam score, preventing false

score for mail with "invoice" pretention and an attachment but only
for very unknown users (or spammers).
Just add your custom rules globally, with reasonable scores.
Whitelisted senders get a _huge_ bonus (I think it's 100 points by
default, maybe customizable), so they won't be affected if you do it
right.
ITYM -100 points. :)
Small but important detail... :)
which is why I like the "dev_whitelist*" variety. They have a value of
-7.5
(instead of that -100 sledgehammer) which is usually enough to get
legit mail thru but not enough to swamp out a major rules hit on real
spam (which happens to get issued by the people you're trying to
protect).
EG:
def_whitelist_auth *@nih.gov
Interesting, but completely irrelevant here since we're talking about
AWL and *not* the normal whitelist rules. AWL scores are dynamic and
can be either positive or negative.
