>> Would it? << In my opinion, yes.
What he basically wants is: A) if domain does not appear in the SPAMDOMAINS file, then the weight should remain uneffected (the outcome is: N/A - Not applicable). B) if domain DOES appear in SPAMDOMAINS file and matches, then credit is given for good behavior C) if domain DOES appear in SPAMDOMAINS file and mismatches, then weight is added for bad behavior. It does make sense to me that these "comparative" tests against a "filtered list" (e.g., the SPAMDOMAIN file) could have the "does not apply" outcome where NO weight is modified.

The only tests I can think of that can have more than 2 different outcomes would be set up as multiple tests. >In the meantime, couldn't he define the test TWICE, once assigning a >positive weight for failure and one with a negative weight for >non-failure? Not the way I am looking at it. This would have the same effect as having the test defined once, with both a weight for failure and a negative weight for non-failure. What he is talking about is something like having the SPAMDOMAINS test being split into 2 tests, one that says "For E-mail with a return address of yahoo.com or hotmail.com, the E-mail should fail TEST1 if the reverse DNS entry doesn't have yahoo.com or hotmail.com in it", and another that says "All E-mail should fail TEST2 unless it comes from yahoo.com or hotmail.com". I think it might be possible to do this with a filter, but this gets very confusing. -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers.
