In my understanding, the fact that the "From:" address is in the AWL with a negative score does *not* prevent sa-learn from learning the message as spam. The effect that various tokens from the mail are learned as "spammy" in the Bayes DB is far more important in my view. And since the sender addresses are unique, their negative AWL score won't hurt much IMHO - except for increasing the size of the auto_whitelist. So, removing them may be a good idea, but I don't think it is necessary for sa-learn to be effective. My 0.02 EUR.
