The good news is that the AWL will gradually fix itself. Once these emails are no longer receiving high scores (before the AWL rule), the AWL will start lowering it's score back to reasonable levels. -- Bowie

AWL is the Auto White List (although it would be more properly called a score averager). What it does is weight the spam scores towards the sender's previous scores. In this case, it may be providing a rather high positive score to the emails since your rule caused him to have high scores previously. If you look at the message headers, you should see AWL listed if this is what is causing the high score. > Oh, how do I properly blow away (from the command line) any saved > settings that SA or sa-learn or whatever is looking at that is has > learned without frying my systems? You can clear the AWL for a sender like this: spamassassin --remove-addr-from-whitelist [EMAIL PROTECTED] ([EMAIL PROTECTED] is the sender) Make sure you do this as the user who is having the problem. > Thanks and kind regards If this doesn't help, post the headers from one of the messages so that we can see which rules are hitting. -- Bowie

Re: local.cf auto learn configs and defaults?
After awhile I removed all of it and restarted everything yet the test domain I did this with at first is still getting really high spam scores and is causing me a problem cause it is a secondary mail account live domain etc. Its probably an AWL score, but without showing us a list of the tests hit on one of these emails all we can do is throw straws in the air and guess.

Since those are the default values, commenting them out doesn't have much effect. You would have to uncomment and change them to deactivate those features. Daniel T.

I have used spamassassin for a long time, it is just now that I am trying to learn more and get into the nuts and bolts for all involved. Any pointers to what to search for on google or where to make changes would be appreciated. I know where the spamassassin site it, I am just not familiar with the terminologies so I can do better searching and researching please.
