I was looking at the contents of my autowhitelist.db, and I noted a number of 
reference to my own address, [EMAIL PROTECTED], but with ip fragments that 
were not mine.

"Cool!" I thought. But wait, some of them have very low scores, like -101. And 
not the one from my real ip address. It had a paltry -8.

Yes, I added it to my static whitelist. But how do I tell it that 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] can only originate at my ip address? Anything claiming to 
be [EMAIL PROTECTED] that originates from any other ip address is probably 
spam, or me doing something odd from a client's site.

One point of terribleness: I figured that I should tell the AWL that it had 
made a mistake and correct it, so I found a mail with the bogus address (as 
evidenced by the Received: header), and cat'ed it in spamassassin 
--add-to-blacklist. This resulted in the new entry looking like this:

hacksaw > /usr2/src/Mail-SpamAssassin-2.63/tools/check_whitelist | grep 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
   100.0       (100.0/1)  --  [EMAIL PROTECTED]|ip=cmd

With sadness in my heart, I removed it. 

Help this floundering fellow.
