Comments on this JK> practice? My personal practice has become to disable the auto white list for the first month or two of any new install. Once Bayes is well trained and active, and I'm comfortable with the accuracy of the SA system in general, then I turn the AWL on. Seems to work well here. The problems I've had were all shortly after wiping/refreshing the Bayes database, when a small but significant number of emails would be mis-classified by SA, and then AWL would start pushing scores in the wrong direction because of that. Once I get the number of FPs/FNs down, AWL works well. Bob Menschel
