What is AWL rule? Why it gives so different amount of points?
"Auto Whitelist" is a misleading name. It is actually a score averager.
Since the points it applies are based on the historical scoring from that
sender, the score will vary by who the sender is and when the message is
processed (i.e. their history to-date).
It's intended to allow an occasional spammy-looking message from a
historically hammy correspondent to get through, hence "auto whitelist".
How to resolve this?
I don't use it so I don't have a complete understanding of the management
options, but basically, either understand and accept it, or turn it off.
If it's behaving badly for a given sender their history can be discarded.
I'm not sure whether SA can be told to not perform AWL for a given sender.
Somebody else will no doubt fill that bit in.
