bayes stopped working (now working)

[Martin Hepworth]

Nick

there some syntax differences in the way SA handles AWL's in 3.x. From
memory someone posted about this last week and the 'fix' was to turn off
the option in local.cf rather than MailScanner.conf. I wonder is that
was causing you problems as well???
