I found a huge file, .spamassassin/auto-whitelist, in my user directory, with my permissions, taking up a large percentage of my quota. Can I safely delete it, or otherwise shrink it down?

It is Auto-WhiteList database of Spamassassin. It contains the history of spam scores of all messages sent from each email+IP pairs. It is used by Spamassassin to descrease spam score for messages sent from email+IP with good history of sending ham emails and to auto blacklist messages sent from email+IP which sent a lot of spam in the past.

You can delete it (but you'll lose all spam score history) or you can shrink it by removing all one-off email addresses with this Perl script.
