AWL - Where, how?

[le...@srs.gov]

Sorry if this has been asked ad-nauseum, but by default, the 
Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::AWL is enabled.

>From what I've been able to find on this topic, AWL is intended to be a 
user or system maintained database of whitelisted "from" addresses.

We did nothing to create or populate this database, yet we see AWL scoring 
negative points into SA, supposedly because the AWL rule was matched.

Where would this database or AWL be located that is being used for the 
scoring?  Can I just turn AWL off by commenting the plugin out of 
v310.pre?

Thanks!

after some "experience", I just disabled awl. I have tried to read how 
it works, and wasn't convinced.
I couldn't find any theoritical support for the algorithm.
