Re: How can a plugin report a dynamic score to SpamAssassin 3.1.7?

[Alban Deniz]

Hi Daryl,

Thanks for the advice; I appreciate the information.

I looked in Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::AWL, and it seems to use the same 
technique to report dynamic scores that I'm using in my Message Sniffer SNF4SA 
plugin (which doesn't seem to work with SpamAssassin 3.1.7).  From 
check_from_in_auto_whitelist:

    # current AWL score changes with each hit
      for my $set (0..3) {
        $pms->{conf}->{scoreset}->[$set]->{"AWL"} = sprintf("%0.3f", $delta);
      }

      if ($delta != 0) {
        $pms->got_hit("AWL", "AWL: ", ruletype => 'eval', score => $delta);
      }
My SNF4A plugin calls got_hit(), and also makes the same assignment to $pms-
>{conf}->{scoreset}.

Am I looking at the right place?

Thanks,
Alban
