It's not the same thing though.  Bayes learns on any component of the
..From: header (escape _this_ line, sendmail !).  So I get tokens
for all the components of the address.  AWL only works on the [EMAIL PROTECTED]
part of it.  AWL is also absolute, while Bayes can score on partial
domains, for instance H*F:D*biz is a strong Bayes spamsign here !
