Hello David, Looks good...

For readability, and because this is, after all, a scoring parameter, instead of adding it to the regex part of a rule, as in my earlier example, I'd suggest adding it to the score part, as in > score T_SAMPLE 0.5,maxhits=6 DBF> Looking at Robert's 'T_SAMPLE' example from his previous message, DBF> you would implement it as: DBF> body __T_SAMPLE /(?:word1|word2|word3|word4|word5)/i,maxhits=6 DBF> meta T_SAMPLE (__T_SAMPLE) DBF> score T_SAMPLE 0.5 DBF> describe T_SAMPLE Message has medical words frequently used in spam DBF> meta T_SAMPLEA ( __T_SAMPLE > 5 ) DBF> score T_SAMPLEA 2.0 This eliminates the need for T_SAMPLEA altogether. Using your description, simply specify > score T_SAMPLE 0.5,maxhits=5 and the score will be between 0 (no hits), 0.5 (1 hit), and 2.5 (5 or more hits).
