Re: [Declude.JunkMail] maxweight/minweight question

[Matt]

It could be useful.  You might use this for instances where you are mixing types or tests in one filter file where scores could be different but multiple hits shouldn't occur.  For instance, if you filtered for both an IP address as the HELO and a dashed reverse DNS entry as the HELO in the same filter, you might score the IP higher than the dashed entry, and only one hit should occur, i.e. MAXWEIGHT   8 HELO      8      CONTAINS      .20. HELO      8      CONTAINS      .21. HELO      8      CONTAINS      .22. HELO      8      CONTAINS      .23. ... MAXWEIGHT   5 HELO   5      CONTAINS      -20- HELO   5      CONTAINS      -21- HELO   5      CONTAINS      -22- HELO   5      CONTAINS      -23- So if a hit for an IP failed the first set of tests, a score of 8 would end the processing of the filter, if no hit occurred, it would move on, adjust the MAXWEIGHT to 5, and possibly hit a dashed IP in the HELO for a lower score.  I suppose that this would also work in reverse and it might even be a better design to do it that way because lower scoring false positives are better and I suppose that a HELO could hit both of these (my own personal filter uses END statements to protect from non-IP's in that filter though).  It would be more efficient to have the dashed stuff up top though because it hits more often and that would save a modicum of processing power.
