MailScanner and SpamAssassin 3.0.2 - AutoWhiteList not working

[Michael H. Martel]

Hello!

I just noticed that my spamassassin setup was using AWL, which I know I had
disabled.  So I looked in my Mailscanner.conf and I see :

SpamAssassin Auto Whitelist = no

Ok, so it's disabled.  Stop MailScanner, delete the auto_whitelist files,
and restart MailScanner. There they come back.  How odd.

So I added the line :

        use_auto_whitelist 0

To my spam.assassin.prefs.conf, and voila Auto Whitelist is disabled.

Has anyone see this before ?
