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.

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.

If this doesn't help, post the headers from one of the messages so
that we can see which rules are hitting.
