Yup, as you mentioned the AWL (auto-white-list) is a comparison to
previous messages.  If that is the only rule that gets hit it looks like
you are doing pretty good.  You did include the body of the message in
the test right?  Not just the headers?

I expected you would have hit more rules than that.  Of course, that is
an 'out-of-the-box' install of SA, most people have special rules in
there, bayes training done, etc...  I believe there is also a website
that you can copy paste the message into to perform the same test (see
message on this list, "Peter Lauri - PHP Mailer and SMTP = SPAM?")  That
site might have other rules configured (SARE... etc) that you might be
hitting.  Worth a shot.
