over zealous awl

[Michael Grant <mi...@gmail.com>]

I noticed when I use spamassasin -r that it seems to add virtually
every email address inside the email to the auto-whitelist db with
high values (ie it's blacklisting them), even my own address, even
addresses in received header lines.  This isn't what I expected, I
would have expected this to only look at the from header line.  Am I
missing something?  Am I the only one noticing this?

Well, that's consistent with what --add-to-blacklist does:


------------------
--add-to-blacklist
    Add all email addresses, in the headers and body of the mail message 
read from STDIN, to the persistent address blacklist. Note that you must 
be running spamassassin or spamd with a persistent address list plugin 
enabled for this to work.
