I don't have root level access to my mail server. The WhiteList I added the name to was via the Horde web mail system, but it did not apply any rule or negative value to the score for those emails. Only controls to SpamAssassin I really have access to is what Cpanel gives me. Any ideas would be helpful.
I don't know how the AWL number got so high, since I have always received lots of email from the address in question (it is my wife). All of a sudden yesterday they started going into SPAM via SpamAssassin so I am trying to figure out why? And the reason is the high AWL value apparently. Thanks for any help. -----Original Message----- From: Matt Kettler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 13, 2005 4:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: Specific mail address going to SPAM; AWL and Whitelist doesn't work?

Perhaps the list of tests on the website says that, but that's not intended to be an accurate listing of scores, just a list of tests. The AWL rule has no fixed score, so any score written anywhere is inherently wrong. AWL is the "auto white list", or more accurate the "automatic historical score averaging system". It's score changes constantly. See http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/AutoWhitelist > If I add this person > to the whitelist it is not registering -100 points. How did you "add this person to the whitelist"? Exactly. There's lots of different "whitelist" related commands in SA, so the specifics here matter a lot.
