If I disable AWL: 

X-Virus-Scanned: amavisd-new at fqdn.com
X-Spam-Flag: NO
X-Spam-Score: 5.5
X-Spam-Level: *****
X-Spam-Status: No, score=5.5 tagged_above=-999.9 required=5.6
        tests=[RDNS_NONE=5.5] autolearn=no autolearn_force=no
Received: from HOST1.fqdn.com ([127.0.0.1])

This-election is the craziest in our country's history so far but
in-spite of all the press-surrounding it, there is something that
NO ONE seems to have the-guts to talk about...

Totally spam E-mail, should have score higher, but there was only one score?



Any idea? 

Thanks, 
Motty

It will do, it's a score averager, it moves the score towards the average
score for the sender. 

AWL is vulnerable to spoofing so you check the from address on the spam. If
that's happening you should consider switching to TxRep. TxRep also excludes
Bayes from the score averaging which make it less resistant to learning.

Why do you have DKIM_VERIFIED=0.99? It's just an old name for DKIM_VALID and
not a spam indicator anyway.
