Ok so if I understand you correctly you are saying that it is possible to use AWL as site-wide having just one part of the e-mail exchange (the "To:" field) and this works fine/reliabily?

What I do is I use MIMEDefang and call spamc from MIMEDefang passing the username based on code that I run to determine. Not exactly easy... But the reason I'm posting is that many servers run sitewide AWL without issue. Why do you feel it is useless? Also, we're testing TxRep as a replacement to AWL in trunk if you want to look at that.
