NAME
       Mail::SpamAssassin::AutoWhitelist - auto-whitelist handler for SpamAs-
       sassin

SYNOPSIS
	 (see Mail::SpamAssassin)

DESCRIPTION
       Mail::SpamAssassin is a module to identify spam using text analysis
       and several internet-based realtime blacklists.

       This class is used internally by SpamAssassin to manage the automatic
       whitelisting functionality.  Please refer to the "Mail::SpamAssassin"
       documentation for public interfaces.

METHODS
       $meanscore = awl->check_address($addr, $originating_ip);
	   This method will return the mean score of all messages associated
	   with the given address, or undef if the address hasn’t been seen
	   before.

	   If $originating_ip is supplied, it will be used in the lookup.

       awl->count();
	   This method will return the count of messages used in determining
	   the whitelist correction.

       awl->add_score($score);
	   This method will add half the score to the current entry.  Half
	   the score is used, so that repeated use of the same From and IP
	   address combination will gradually reduce the score.

       awl->add_known_good_address($addr);
	   This method will add a score of -100 to the given address --
	   effectively "bootstrapping" the address as being one that should
	   be whitelisted.

       awl->add_known_bad_address($addr);
	   This method will add a score of 100 to the given address -- effec-
	   tively "bootstrapping" the address as being one that should be
	   blacklisted.
