Severity: normal
Error description:
Hi Maintainer,
sorry if this is allready reported but I have not found anything
in my Folder "BTS_debian.s.spamassassin/" and I have no Internet
connection curently to check it out On-Line.
The "man 1p spamassassin" say:
----8<--------------------------------------------------------------
-W, --add-to-whitelist
Add all email addresses, in the headers and body of the mail mes-
sage read from STDIN, to the automatic whitelist. Note that you
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is OK
must be running "spamassassin" or "spamd" with the -a switch for
this to work. See the -a documentation for more information.
--add-to-blacklist
Add all email addresses, in the headers and body of the mail mes-
sage read from STDIN, to the automatic whitelist with a high score
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I do not want to whitlist People I do not like
(ensuring they will be ''blacklisted''). Note that you must be
running "spamassassin" or "spamd" with the -a switch. See the -a
documentation for more information.
-R, --remove-from-whitelist
Remove all email addresses, in the headers and body of the mail
message read from STDIN, from the automatic whitelist. STDIN must
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is OK
contain a full email message, so to remove a single address you
should use --remove-addr-from-whitelist instead.
Note that you must be running "spamassassin" or "spamd" with the -a
switch. See the -a documentation for more information.
--add-addr-to-whitelist
Add the named email address to the automatic whitelist. Note that
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Again an error
you must be running "spamassassin" or "spamd" with the -a switch.
See the -a documentation for more information.
--add-addr-to-blacklist
Add the named email address to the automatic whitelist with a high
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
And here the third one
score (ensuring they will be ''blacklisted''). Note that you must
be running "spamassassin" or "spamd" with the -a switch. See the
-a documentation for more information.
----8<--------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe the editor of the manpage should avoid using Copy-N-Past?

This isn't an error at all, merely a misunderstanding on your side of
the purpose of the AWL (i.e. as a score normaliser).
I'd suggest reading the documentation of the -a switch as suggested in
the section you quoted. From memory it's much the same as what's now
become Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::AWL(3p) in the 3.1 series.
Regards,
Adam
