=head1 NAME

check_whitelist - examine and manipulate SpamAssassin's auto-whitelist db

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<check_whitelist> [--clean] [--min n] [dbfile]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Check or clean a SpamAssassin auto-whitelist (AWL) database file.

The name of the file is specified after any options, as C<dbfile>.
The default is C<$HOME/.spamassassin/auto-whitelist>.

=head1 OPTIONS

=over 4

=item --clean

Clean out infrequently-used AWL entries.  The C<--min> switch can be
used to select the threshold at which entries are kept or deleted.

=item --min n

Select the threshold at which entries are kept or deleted when C<--clean> is
used.  The default is C<2>, so entries that have only been seen once are
deleted.

=back

=head1 OUTPUT

The output looks like this:

     AVG  (TOTSCORE/COUNT)  --  EMAIL|ip=IPBASE

For example:

     0.0         (0.0/7)  --  dawson@example.com|ip=208.192
    21.8        (43.7/2)  --  mcdaniel_2s2000@example.com|ip=200.106

C<AVG> is the average score;  C<TOTSCORE> is the total score of all mails seen
so far;  C<COUNT> is the number of messages seen from that sender;  C<EMAIL> is
the sender's email address, and C<IPBASE> is the B<AWL base IP address>.

B<AWL base IP address> is a way to identify the sender's IP address they
frequently send from, in an approximate way, but remaining hard for spammers to
spoof.  The algorithm is as follows:

  - take the last Received header that contains a public IP address -- namely
    one which is not in private, unrouted IP space.

  - chop off the last two octets, assuming that the user may be in an ISP's
    dynamic address pool.
