Just for reference, the *only* way to get a truly persistent blacklist in
Spamassassin is to use the blacklist_* configuration options. Period.

You can tweak the AWL score to any arbitrarily large value you want, and it is
going to get diluted rapidly because the AWL is a score averaging system, it is
*NOT* a whitelist or a blacklist (although it can have these effects, it's
really just borrowing score from past reputation).

Perhaps we need to change these command-line options to:
--increase-awl-for-addr
--decrease-awl-for-addr

To avoid confusion. The existing options just reinforce the myth that the AWL
is a suitable for use as a hard whitelist/blacklist system, which it really
isn't.
