This is what the "X-Spam-Level" header is for. For example, if the user wants to filter all spam scoring 5 or greater to a certain folder, and delete spam scoring 12 or higher, she could create two rules: header "X-Spam-Level" contains "************" -> delete header "X-Spam-Level" contains "*****" -> move to "spam" folder Note that each of these rules catches spam tagged at this level or higher; for example, spam scored at 17.2 would include this 17 star header: X-Spam-Level: ***************** ... which would match the 'header "X-Spam-Level" contains "************"' rule. This is extremely flexible, and each user can set her own preference without you needing to define spam as "Possible", "Likely" or "Definitely" on a systemwide basis. (After all, a casual user running a Britney Spears fan site might have a very different definition of what she's willing to "definitely" consider spam than, for example, a law firm.) You could give your users "suggested" spam rules based on the above scheme if you wish, and it works with the existing code -- no new functionality necessary. ------------------------------------ Robert L Mathews, Tiger Technologies ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
