~root/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist is huge -- but autowhitelist is not enabled...?

[Furnish, Trever G]

D'OH!  Nevermind -- found the comment next to this option in the new
config file:

# To disable whitelisting, you must set "use_auto_whitelist 0" in your 
# spam.assassin.prefs.conf file as well as set this to no.

Thanks, Julian, for adding that comment. :-)
