Excellent point. I don't think most people realize that
auto-whitelist will grow forever (has this changed in newest
versions of spamassassin yet?) and I have seen some larger
than 700MB. If using the default DB based awl, you can use the
check_whitelist tool (in the tools directory of the source code)
to trim down the file somewhat.
