A while ago, I asked about updating the AWL when using spamd --virtual-config-dir. The discussion got sidetracked onto the topic of the obsolete -a option and the AWL plugin, and consequently my original question never got a satisfactory answer. Here it is again:

I've recently switched from running spamd on our mail server machine, where all users have direct access to their SA config in their home directory, to running spamd on a second machine and using --virtual-config-dir for user configuration. (SA 3.1.1) The only problem this has posed is that there's no convenient way for users to modify entries in the auto-whitelist file. Some spam (mostly mortgage offers with obfuscated text) that came in before bayes was retrained got scored low, and consequently the AWL scores are pulling the total score for new spam from the same source back down below the 5.0 threshold in spite of it hitting BAYES_90 and above. I've resorted to deleting the auto-whitelist files from the virtual config dir when someone notices this effect, but that's hardly a scalable solution. Is there another approach I don't know about?
