Tom,- AWL is supposed to be per-recipient. Each recipient has its own automatically updated whitelist.
My assumption is this: Blacklists against spammers are universal.
My assumption here is this:- amavisd-new has no way of telling SA what the envelope recipients are (SA can only guess that from the header, and this can only work when SA is called at the final stage from the local delivery agent (e.g. procmail), when there is already only a single recipient)
I use HEADER and not Envelope. There is always one FROM address in either case and that is what you are really looking for when you are whitelisting/blacklisting.

I personally am starting to conclude that bayesian filtering is very difficult to get working correctly. It is too easy to skew the statistics and therefore pass the filters.
Although Bayesian works best when it is trained for a particular
user, it is still _very_ useful with a single site-wide database.
Given a larger set of ham/spam messages to train, the lack
of specialization can be compensated to some degree.
With respect to the spammers only, I believe, or am willing to believe that it works the other way around. What I am looking for is a History of the Sender more than specific recipient filtering.AWL on the other hand (as I understand it) is only useful as a per-recipient information. (but I may be wrong here)
How might one enable this? Even one AWL would be very useful.| Is there any way to enable SA auto whitelist? Or is it S.O.L. You can turn it on, but it will always see only one a.w. list, namely the one belonging to used amavis (or vscan) - as things stand now. Some special AWL handling would need to be devised, and it is not high on my priority list.
Unfortunately under the current build that I have, AWL is, for some reason, disabled or not functioning properly.
