Re: can we make AWL ignore mail from self to self? - SpamAssassin
This is a discussion on Re: can we make AWL ignore mail from self to self? - SpamAssassin ; Let's focus this on specific technical details:
1. How does AWL deal with forgery (other than by saving a /16 of the
source IP)
2. How can I easily see the AWL database for a given destination
address?...

No other way. What's wrong with saving a /16? In my experience it's
worked pretty well for the past few years...

when mails is from foo@example.org to foo@example.org this should kill the
attempt to get negative scores
but positive should still be added :-)
else turn down AWL_factor in the plugin, default is 0.5, but better imho is 0.25

Seems to. I can logically think of ways it would/should break (ie
public wireless networks) but I haven't seen any real problems until
now, and the problem is specific to self<->self.
My comment was only because Matt kept insisting that AWL prevents
forgery...

Where can I find this? It's not in the Mail-SpamAssassin tarfile...
