Whitelist removal problems

[Bryan Haase <BH...@good-sam.com>]

I am running SA2.63, not running spamd. I have sender that I have added to my etc/mail/SpamAssassin/whitelist.cf file. It scores them as expected. My problem is removing a sender (yahoo) from that list. I have ( # ) out the sender....no luck, I have deleted the line ...no luck. The yahoo domain is not whitelisted, other yahoo mail is being filtered fine. 

Is the whitelist cached somehow? How can permanently remove a sender from the whitelist?

Thanks
Bryan

The white/blacklists are definietly NOT cached anywhere. Period.

However, you might be experiencing lag effects due to the AWL. Check your 
headers for the list of rules hitting, not just the scores.

I have noticed the same issue with blacklisting. I've had to whitelist 
formerly blacklisted addresses! I know that's not right.
