Benn, you are missing the point. AWL is working very well for our
needs. What I am pointing out is that AWL should not be used for
mail from self to self, because this is an easy forgery. AWL counts
on the spammer not being able to forge someone you correspond with
normally. This is usually true, but forging your own address is
trivial.

I just got a piece of SPAM which should have scored 12.something that
got a -6 from the AWL.
ok
I think that mail from self to self should be ignored by the AWL.
(it's harder to forged mail from a regular correspondent, so this
makes AWL more useful)
better configure awl to weight scores better to what trustness you
want from it
