Besides what Gary already said, let me try in plain words: AWL builds a sender's reputation (based on average of his past messages). It does not take into account recipient addresses. Pen pals deals with sender/recipient pairs. An outgoing mail opens up a temporary gate for a reply, only from this sender back to this recipient. Bonus points slowly fade away - a quick reply gets a full bonus, a late reply gets a fraction. > > Can you point me some advantages and disadvantages of each one, > > comparing to the other ? Best to have them both :) AWL builds a long-term average. It helps regular senders to overcome an occasional high score in their message contents. It could potentially help to block spam with a temporary low score from the same sender, but this in practice has no effect as spamers are changing sender addresses all the time. Pen pals reacts immediately, replies get a bunus right away, regardless of contents of previous mail sent by a replier. If you already have a SQL logging database then adding pen pals whitelisting is very cheap, otherwise setting up a database involves some basic SQL admin skills, and an occasional database cleanup is needed (cron or manually, weekly or perhaps nightly, see README.sql).
