[Bug 6059] New: turn off AWL by default in 3.3.0
https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6059
Summary: turn off AWL by default in 3.3.0
Product: Spamassassin
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5
Component: Rules (Eval Tests)
AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
ReportedBy: jm@jmason.org
at this stage I don't think it's worth having on by default, given the problems
it causes for disk load and out-of-control bloated db files eating lots of disk
space and memory, vs the marginal gains in accuracy it provides. let's set it
off by default.

+1
Until an expiry scheme can be implemented, the AWL is not production ready.
ie: bug 3082 needs to be completed

I don't mind turning it off by default. To make it useful requires use of SQL,
correct trusted_networks settings, absence of blanco whitelisting of own
domain,
and an occasional ditching of records with count of 1, so it should be
enabled only by a conscious decision of administrator aware of issues.
Btw, someone recently reported that a /16 network mask (two octets) for
an IP address in AWL is unfortunate for him, as his /24 netblock happens
to fall under /16 of some ISP (which does not own the complete /16 address
range). Narrowing the range to /24 (three octets) may need to be considered,
and likewise choosing and implemting a suitable mask (/48?) for IPv6 addresses.
I'll still want to use it though: coupled with
auto_whitelist_distinguish_signed
enabled it can be quite effective with domains like gmail.com and yahoo.
