spamassassin low score

Hello,
I get a spam with very low score. AWL=1.350 but that address in not in 
the whitelist.

local.cf
required_score 5.0

X-Virus-Scanned: amavisd-new at sscsinc.com
X-Spam-Flag: NO
X-Spam-Score: -0.559
X-Spam-Level:
X-Spam-Status: No, score=-0.559 tagged_above=-999 required=5.3
         tests=[AWL=1.350, BAYES_00=-1.9, DKIM_SIGNED=0.1, DKIM_VALID=-0.1,
         HTML_MESSAGE=0.001, RCVD_IN_DNSWL_NONE=-0.0001,
         T_RP_MATCHES_RCVD=-0.01] autolearn=ham autolearn_force=no

any suggestions?

Thanks,
Motty

Since you are using Amavis, the required_score in local.cf is 
irrelevant.  Amavis uses it's own settings for the required scores.

Bluntly: you're wrong about the address, it WAS in the AWL that was used 
to check that message.

AWL is not really a "whitelist" despite the name and in this case it 
added 1.350 to the spam score, presumably because you've previously 
received messages from the same sender that scored higher, i.e. MORE 
SPAMMY. AWL is designed to skew scores towards the history of the 
sender: good OR bad.

It may be significant that you claim local.cf has "required_score 5.0" 
yet the X-Spam-Status header says "required=5.3". It seems possible that 
you have a per-user config involved here...
