I don't understand how it can be a good idea to keep variable data in a config
file.  A config file should specify config settings, policies etc, but not a
list
of mail addresses.
That it currently offers options like whitelist_from with a hardcoded list of
mail addresses is bad.
Such a config option should point to an external db that stores the list of
addresses and that can be updated without reloading the program.   The AWL
is such a db.  Unfortunately it has hardwired averaging in it.
What is needed is either a mod to the AWL so that it can store fixed score
offsets
(as suggested in other comments) or a new AWL-like facility that can store
fixed
blacklist and whitelist values.  I think adding this to the AWL is better.
