Never found awl much good in a multi-user setup. Seems very variable - works 
For some, not for others.
 
I get wayoo many false negatives with it as the spammers use the same 'from' 
quite a few times, so the address makes it io the awl db.


Ymmv as they say.

Subject: AWL aging?

I have recently understood AWL better, and am wondering if there should
be some minimum number of entries before AWL is applied.  I often get
spam that doesn't score that high due to being a fresh relay.  If I
rescore it with '|spamassassin -t' after a few days, often it's on
blacklists and scores a lot higher, but is pulled down by AWL.

So, I wonder if a rule that said 'AWL is only applied if there are >=5
scores in the average' would avoid giving credit for spam that arrived
when it wasn't classified as high as it should be now.
