AWL

[John Schmerold <sc...@gmail.com>]

Is the AWL score generated based on the experience of my server, or are 
other external sources feeding AWL?

I have a client, they sent me an email, they were dinged with an AWL of 
3.575, my SA server was configured a couple days ago, so it hasn't had 
much time to auto-learn much of anything, I would whitelist the client, 
but want to help them improve the deliver-ability of their 
communications by better understanding what tripping up their SA score.

Thanks.

AWL is entirely local. The keys are tuples of the first 3 octets of the 
client IP and the sender address.

On a new server, it is generally a better idea to enable TxRep instead 
of AWL.

One message is enough with AWL.

I do not remember any more what I did, so I can't help. I guess I 
started using TXREP from scratch and never used AWL because it was bad.

Statistics means never having to say you're certain.

Just read through the man page for TXREP, which looks pretty interesting.  I'm
thinking of switching my system over.  Is there a guide somewhere for what you need
to do to switch from AWL to TXREP?  I know the databases can be reused with a name
change, but the docs are a bit vague about which databases to change and what the new
names should be.

Also, are there any recommended config changes, or are the default values good enough?

Just a side note: AWL is deprecated and replaced by TXREP which works in
similar fashion but better,
