RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Exiting with fixed weight

[Kami Razvan]

Hi John:   I am experimenting with a different way of looking at the IP4r tests.  Over the last month I have changed all the IP4r tests into various categories and through monitoring the spam I have created over 20 combo filters that detects spam and tries to credit good mail without any text filters.   In order not to over penalize certain conditions I want to make sure that at various stages of the tests emails have certain tests and not more.   For example.   If an email is listed with MailPolice-WebMail I do not want to automatically score it too high but in the presence of other conditions make sure that it has a weight of lets say 10 - no more, no less.  but in the absence of those conditions the default weight of 5 is fine.   Through the combination of various tests one can step by step move an email to delivery, hold, or deletion based on certain conditions.   I wish I could also have tests that could identify if a test's name starts with something, ends with something or contains something.  Right now we can only check CONTAINS.  This feature could add a lot more power and will let us take an interesting object oriented approach to all the tests.   Regards, Kami From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Tolmachoff (Lists) Sent: Friday, November 26, 2004 12:07 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Exiting with fixed weight What is the purpose of the test?   If you want a message that fails any line in that test (that is the way I am understanding it) to receive and exact weight of 35 for that test, you would score each line of the test at 0, get rid of the minweight and maxweight, then set the fail weight of the test to 35. This is the standard basic normal fail weight.   John Tolmachoff Engineer/Consultant/Owner eServices For You   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kami Razvan Sent: Friday, November 26, 2004 8:50 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Exiting with fixed weight   Hi John..   I don't think that would work.. that will add 35 to the total weight of the email.   I want for the final weight of the email up to that point to become 35.  I think with your suggestion if the email has a weight of 34 after the test it will end up with 69 (35 + 34).   I could be wrong of course..   Kami   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Tolmachoff (Lists) Sent: Friday, November 26, 2004 11:26 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Exiting with fixed weight Set all lines of filter to weight of 0.   In the Global.cfg, set the weight of the fail for that test to 35.   John Tolmachoff Engineer/Consultant/Owner eServices For You   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kami Razvan Sent: Friday, November 26, 2004 5:24 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Exiting with fixed weight   Hi;   Is there anyway a filter can exit with an exact weight at the end?   Using MaxWeight I can make sure that a filter does not add more than a certain weight to the final weight.  But lets say I want to make sure that if the weight is below a certain level when I exit I am at a set weight.   Using:   SKIPIFWEIGHT    30 MINWEIGHTTOFAIL   5 MAXWEIGHT 5     If this filter is triggered then upon exit a total of 5 will be added to the final then the final weight can be at most 34 or at least 5.. what if I want the final weight to be 35 regardless.   Is there a feature that can do this?   Regards, Kami
