Hi Michael. To answer your questions... If my BlackFilter.txt file is composed of lines like:
SUBJECT STOPALLTESTS CONTAINS China Business Directory BODY STOPALLTESTS CONTAINS Evil Spammer will the test return 500 points on a match and HOLD the email without further processing of filters or other tests. Yes, this is correct. I understand the filters are processed in the order they occur in the $default$junkmail so this will be the first Filter listed but there are FROMFILE's listed earlier in the $default$junkmail. In this scenario will I need a SKIPIFWEIGHT line in any subsequent filters to suppress their running? Actually, filters are not processed in the order that they occur in the $default$.junkmail file, so no, you do not need to add a SKIPIFWEIGHT directive to your filters. The STOPALLTESTS directive in your BLACKFILTER will accomplish what you need.
