I saw no reason to disable it when I first set up a spamfilter server for the small ISP I started working for originally. This was ~SA2.4, so there were no DNS-based URI tests and no Bayes support. <g> Since then, the only problem I ran into was that of ever-expanding AWL files causing quota problems, which I solved by hacking the check_whitelist script to trim certain entries (IIRC, those that only had 1 "hit") while copying the rest into a new file. Simply deleting the entries from the existing file wouldn't have helped; that would not have actually shrunk the on-disk file. I can't say if it's "extremely" effective, but it's a cheap way to make sure someone's favourite non-spam mailing list doesn't get randomly tagged due to being close to the spam threshold, but occasionally over. -kgd
