So what do you recommend I do to make sure something like the posted message gets a higher score? I added this to my config: score Repeat_Allcap_Free 1.5 body Repeate_Allcap_Free /FREE.*FREE/ Which might be extendable to catch all instances of an all cap word used more than once on the same line. Only I wasn't sure how to write that. I know a little about using perls memory syntax but wan't sure if it would work in the config file. I'd have to refresh my memory from the regex stuff as well to get it right, but do you think that would be a good approach? _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
