[Assp-user] PB Single message mode with upper and lower threshold?

2007-04-27 Thread David Norelid
Hi everyone, Tell me if this is a dumb idea: Would it be possible to have an upper and lower threshold on PB scoring to filter the terribly obvious spam from the not so obvious spam? In single message mode, one can use the Penalty Boxes scoring system on a single message to mark it spam/ham.

Ok, I see it now. It still resets some settings to default on restart, however. It's pretty frustrating as Delaying is turned on by default, and I never want it on. Maybe you delete the assp.cfg file. Built 20 is *not* resetting values to default.
