Delete an address from the AWL?
I have a particular address which has been learned incorrectly by the AWL.
I have added a custom rule to catch these spams, but the AWL is currently
deducting about 2.2 points from each one (the last one went from 6.3 to 4.1
because of the AWL). Is there any way to remove an address from the AWL or
do I have to delete the entire thing to reset it?
And, yes, I do understand how the AWL works. If I understand correctly, it
should eventually fix itself now that SA is properly scoring the messages,
but I would prefer not to wait.

Ah, Gotcha. So, how can I simply empty out the AWL? I want it reverted to
nothing so I can start fresh.

Yeah.. did you feed it a message? As standard input?
-R, aka --remove-from-whitelist requires you pipe in a message as input. It
searches the message and clears out the addresses found in the message.
--remove-addr-from-whitelist takes an email address on the command line. No
email message required.
ie these commands will hang:
spamassassin -R -D
spamassassin -R -D spam.txt
This will do something
spamassassin -R -D < spam.txt

How do you simply clear out the entire AWL? I don't know where it is
physically located.
I tried spamassassin -R but it just hangs with -D it just stops after it
loads the bayes stuff.

There's always "spamassassin --help"
--remove-addr-from-whitelist=addr Remove addr from persistent
address list
