I have not been able to find documentation for the penpals feature so I'm not sure if this is expected behaviour. I see that in X-Spam-Status, it has "score=-6.844..1.152". I don't know what this is indicating. Also, I see two AM.PENPAL values in the tests... I'm not sure but perhaps this is because the email has multiple addresses in the To/CC headers... all of them are people I communicate with regularly.
In any case I would have expected the penpals feature to apply some negative value to the spam score, but it didn't. Why not?
