They are all applied. The trick is, so far there are very few, and only
recently used, negative if pass tests.  It might not be hard for Declude
to add a %TESTPASSED% variable, but if you use a lot of tests, this will
be a very long list, especially for good email.  It has been suggested
for them to add a mechanism to say "report these test if passed to some
variable", but it may be fairly complex to add compared to the level of
use.  i.e. I know I use IPNOTINMX and NOLEGITCONTENT and that both are
pass tests with a weight of -3, so if they are not in tests failed list
I subtract 3 for each one, I know at a glance.

The current log level in "\imail\declude\global.cfg" file is set to
HIGH.
I'm assuming HIGH has the same stuff has MID (and more).  How do I
locate
the relevant lines in the log file?  Is there some of identifier in the
original e-mail headers that I can use?

It just so happens that IPNOTINMX is enabled in my global.cfg...

-
IPNOTINMX ipnotinmx x x 0 -3
-

So, because of the nature of IPNOTINMX then if a message does NOT fail
the
IPNOTINMX then -3 points are added on to its weight?  If so, then that
explains the weight being 3 points lower.

One thing that's of consternation to me here is that a test that's being
applied to the message, i.e. IPNOTINMX, is not being represented in the
headers of the message.  Is there any way that DJM Pro can be configured
to
display not just "X-Spam-Tests-Failed:"  but "X-Spam-Tests-Applied:"?

Thanks for your always prompt feedback!

Dan
