Are you saying that SKIPIFWEIGHT completely ignores any test that passes a negative value?
It ignores weights that are used if an E-mail does *not* pass a test (for example, the NOLEGITCONTENT/IPNOTINMX tests work in this "backwards" way).
It does not ignore weights that are below zero.
In other words the positive accrued value say for example on a particular email is 100. A compensatory filter for this email scores it with a -300. The net effect [%WEIGHT%] after both tests are run is +100?
The actual weight is the same, regardless of whether SKIPIFWEIGHT is used. We're just talking about the weight that the SKIPIFWEIGHT option sees, which may differ from the actual weight of the E-mail.
