And besides this unusual application, querying the AWL before all the rules are done being scored is useless, as you won't get the right results out of it. The score assigned by the AWL rule is a function of both the current pre-AWL score, and the history. If you check the AWL before all the rules are done, that "current score" value isn't going to be accurate. However, in your case, you're not trying to query the AWL for scoring purposes, merely determine if a given sender has been seen at all before. Which isn't really what the AWL was designed to do. > I still want the AWL to do its normal job once the other scoring has > finished, so don't want to make its priority less than 1000, but was hoping > that there was a way to query its information earlier in the SpamAssasssin > process..... > > Any ideas? > Modify the AWL plugin code? You'd essentially want a stripped-down version of "check_from_in_auto_whitelist" which really only checks to see if the address exists in the DB or not, and doesn't do any score calculation/update.
