Thanks, now I know a bit more about AWL. The point about the 'sliding
scale' was obvious, though.
However, I still wonder why those messages got negative AWL ratings,
although I never got non-SPAM by them -- even after forced learning as
SPAM they had a (less) negative AWL rating...
btw: No false positives/negatives for the last 2 days! :-))
