After reading the article on
http://www.sns.ias.edu/~jns/wp/2006/03/08/the-problem-with-spamassassins-autowhitelist-feature/
" Just lately, a significant percentage of spam seems to comprise such
spoofed email and in this case the one message in ten from joe that
happens to be spam often gets classified as ham."
I am almost agree with it and I want to disable AWL feature on SA,
as currently many spam mail using spoofed address and with AWL score it
can easily change final score of spam email by reducing it and it goes
below cut-off score (12)
sample below, If I am not activating AWL then this spam will have score
20.5 and wont get pass into my inbox.
But before doing that, I want to know do you also disable AWL feature or
not? Can I have your reason? Thanks before
