Yep, a configuration of WEIGHT10 DELETE and a WEIGHT20 HOLD would indeed delete a message with a weight of 21.
Something you mentioned earlier prompts me to point out another thing; the veterans in the list generally regard HOLD messages not as something they have to check out several times a day to manually sort, but rather as a convenient way to not bug the intended recipient while we are still able to retrieve and deliver the mail for that recipient in case of a false positive. The net result is that we're more likely to err by holding a message than to err by deleting it! For reviewing messages, SpamReview is very popular; I stopped using it a long time ago, though, due to the high volume I get (I delete very little). Also, the \imail\spool\spam folder will of course grow in time, so you'll want a handy utility that you can schedule to delete messages there that are older than whatever time you choose. See the Declude website, Tools page for links to these and other tools.

I was thinking of the whole thing is a different light. Specific test gets action taken first then aggregate tests like WEIGHT20 get taken in highest to lowest weight order. Then other things... To paraphrase you JunkMail looks through all the actions of all the tests that have been tripped starting with the most severe (strict) "DELETE" and working down the list. So if you did it wrong and setup WEIGHT10 DELETE and WEIGHT20 HOLD then all e-mail with a weight of 10 or higher would be deleted and none would be held. Right? OK you would have to be mostly asleep to set it up this way...
