Hmm, thanks Sandy, that's interesting. Let me make sure I understand this. I use the same command line options for SPAMC32 as I already have, including the -e and -et? I then create 10 external SA tests for scores of 1 through 10. JM looks for exact scores (which -e gives from rounding SA scores) from 1 to 10 from SA and adds that score to the total weight.
What happens in this scenario if SA reports a very high score, over 10? Does the -et switch cause JM to receive the maximum set there for anything over 10? I am very possibly highly confused here, so I appreciate your assistance... Thanks for weighing in here with your suggestion. It's good to have people who create things around to help out with them!

This concept is tricky if you're using the "external weight" test type, since Declude "plays dumb" with the return code and SPAMC32 does not currently have a switch to zero out negative return codes (though it's a good suggestion). I can think of a good workaround, though. If you're using -et 10 (which maxes out the positive return code at 10), this means you will have a limited number of positive conditions, so you could just define the test 10 times (Declude will only run the exe once, don't worry) as an "external <code>" test type, like so: SA1 external 1 "spamc32.exe blah blah blah" 1 0 SA2 external 2 "spamc32.exe blah blah blah" 2 0 SA3 external 3 "spamc32.exe blah blah blah" 3 0 SA4 external 4 "spamc32.exe blah blah blah" 4 0 ... SA10 external 10 "spamc32.exe blah blah blah" 10 0 The external <code> tells Declude to look for a specific return code, rather than just nonzero, so this is a way to get negatives out of the picture. There are some combinations of the SPAMC32 switches which do not work as efficiently as everyone would like (they all function as designed, mind you!), but work needs to be done to account for even more scenarios.
