How can I do that ? The point of the AWL is that it's just that... automatic. It's a system of simply factoring into a message's score the average score that all mail from that sender has received previously. So you can't import names into AWL. You would have to train each message sent by those users by running it through SA which would score each message and use previous scores from each recipient to determine the next score. Obviously not practical or even possible since all you have are the addresses, not messages sent by these users. I think what you WANT is just to WHITELIST these users which, as you discovered, is horribly inefficient for 500,000 users. cheers, Colin Colin A.
