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.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me
either by email or call Toll free 1-866-332-5833  Ext.7008
