I heard that you have to stand on one foot while patting your head and 
rubbing your stomach.

Your script that starts spamd calls spamd with the -a command line parameter.

This parameter used to enable the AWL, but it is no longer accepted on the
command line due to changes in the AWL code.

Edit your startup script and remove -a from the command-line to spamd. (usually
the script is something like /etc/init.d/spamassassin or
/etc/rc.d/init.d/spamassassin)


It's been replaced with a config file option, use_auto_whitelist. Edit
/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf and add this if you still want to use the AWL.
	use_auto_whitelist 1

or to disable the AWL:

	use_auto_whitelist 0
