[Declude.JunkMail] Trying SpamChk...and weights...
Hi all, All of the recent talk about SpamChk has finally prompted me to give it a spin. Per the documentation, I am considering change my weight scale. That is, I normally hold on 10 and delete on 25. Of course, my per-test weights are adjusted accordingly. I am thinking about doing what the spamchk documentation says and going to a hold weight of 100. This makes the changes to my global.cfg file and filter files easy since I just add a zero. And no math! ;-) But since I had a few particular weights before around 50 and my whitelist equivilant is a -100 weight, does anyone see any problems with weights potentially being in the -1000 to 1000+ ranges? Obviously, it's all relative to my tests, but I'm more curious about how JunkMail is designed and if there would be any problems with much larger values. Maybe I'm paranoid, but I'd rather ask a dumb question than find out the hard way! Also, I don't suppose there's a way to set up spamchk so that it does not add any weight...so I can test it first. I know I can zero out everything in the spamchk.ini file, but it would sure be nice to have either a testing parameter that always returns 0 or a way to define it in declude.cfg so that it doesn't use the weight it returns. Thanks for your input. I'm looking forward to seeing how it works for us! --Todd. --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.

You should be able to use weights that total up to about 2 billion before any problems occur. We do have some customers that are using very high weights (not as high as 2 billion that I know of, but weights in the 100,000s). -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Trying SpamChk...and weights...
... does anyone see any problems with weights potentially being in the -1000 to 1000+ ranges? We use the hold-on-100 weighting system and have daily hold spam messages between 100 and 1200 points Also, I don't suppose there's a way to set up spamchk so that it does not add any weight...so I can test it first. I know I can zero out everything in the spamchk.ini file, but it would sure be nice to have either a testing parameter that always returns 0 or a way to define it in declude.cfg so that it doesn't use the weight it returns. You can use MaxPoints=0 MinPoints=0 in the spamchk.ini file. But note that the value 0 means unlimited So maybe it's the best for you if you set MaxPoints=1 MinPoints=-1 by using a hold-on-100 weighting system. This should not have any noticeable effect in you declude weighting system.
