Thanks Travis.  I have now begun to see some results in my declude log file
that shows what I did is passing the score on to declude.  However, the
problem there is that I have set the SPAMASSASSIN action to add a footer
that the message is likely SPAM, and it adds that when the test is "failed",
even negative scores from SA.

What is your hold weight?  I have my routeto (a SPAM folder I review) weight
at 10 which doesn't give to many false positives.  I wonder what your hold
weight is so that I can tailor your command line to suit my "hold" weight if
different than yours.  Is there a way to ensure that the SPAMC32 weight
passed to JM doesn't go negative?

Geoff

Hi Geoff, this is what I use:
SPAMASSASSIN  external weight "e:\imail\declude\spamd\spamc32.exe -d 
#serverIP# -cw %WEIGHT% -sw 15 -e -et 11 -f"

I don't want to check spamassassin if my hold weight is already reached, and

I don't want the message to weigh more than 11 from spamassassin, prevents 
one test from failing a message, thereby reducing false positives.

This allows the score to come from spamassassin, not assigning 10 points to 
all failed spamassassin tests.  Most of spam assassin tests only return 1 to

5 points.  It is working for me quite well.
