The comment on the change is:
clarify autowhitelist better

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  Some good, free web-based tools are available to put a friendly user interface on whitelists (and blacklists) and allow users to edit their own.  See WebUserInterfaces.
  
- == How do I force AutoWhitelist certain addresses? ==
+ == What is AutoWhitelist? ==
  
- Technically, you can use {{{spamassassin --add-addr-to-whitelist}}}, but don't.  The AutoWhitelist is designed as a score averaging system, not as a whitelisting system.  If you want to manually whitelist, you should use the directions from the previous section.
+ Another feature of spamassassin is "auto-whitelist".  But the name is a misnomer.  The AutoWhitelist is designed as an automatic score averaging system, and is just as likely to penalize or blacklist an address as it is to benefit or whitelist it.  If you want to whitelist, you should use the directions above.
