You might want to look into using the -a option to invoke AWL which has evolved into something that is not automatic whitelisting. It is really address averaging. See the FAQ. It would seem to do what you are asking for directly and automatically. http://wiki.spamassassin.org/w/AutoWhitelist In a nutshell it averages out the scores. If a sender is always sending you messages which score a 2 then it substracts 2 average that out to zero before any particular rules are hit on that message. On the other hand if a sender is always scoring -1 then it adds 1 to get back to zero for the same reason. If a spammer is always sending you messages which score 20 then sends a message tuned for SA to score a zero then the averager will bump it up and still catch it. If a friend is always sending you emails which score zero but then asks you about a spam message which would have triggered SA to score as a ten then it will average it down as well. Automatically whitelisting AND blacklisting as needed, to keep the average. Personally, I don't use it as I don't like basing scores upon the from address in any way. But if you want to base scores upon the from address then it looks ready made for that purpose.
