I couldn't agree with Ryan more.  For one thing, the suggestion to tweak my
Procmail settings doesn't work, because I don't use Procmail.  I am using
the spamass-milter for Sendmail.  Also, tweaking other programs and library
settings to make SA do what I want it to do seems like a bad idea, mostly
since other programs might rely on their settings being "Correct".

Truth of the matter is this: I have come to the conclusion, thanks to the
help of the people on this list, that the all_spam_to, awl and
whitelist_from rules don't get counted during the autolearning process.  If
I understand what I've been told correctly, only header and body test points
count towards the autolearn decision, and that's fine with me.

I can, however, see a case where someone would want e-mails to or from a
particular user or domain to be completely ignored by SA.  Whether or not
that has been addresses in 3.0 I'm not sure, but I'm happy with the answer
as-is for now.

Thanks for all your help.
