Yes. As the filter matches more lines, I want more weight as it is more likely to be a 419 spam.
 
Now the lines themselves aren't spammy (million dollars) so I can't weight each line much if at all.

Hi Scott -

I do not quite understand - you could score  each line [hit] with the filter protected with a minweight to fail [to protect against false positives ] and if necessary to contain the filter from  overpowering the scoring a maxweight to cap. The filter only runs once and will accumulate a total past the minweighttofail if the data supports it.

Are you saying instead  if it scores "7" punish the email with more weight eg:
scores 7 weight is 10
scores 8 weight is 12 etc?

I currently use a MINWEIGHTTOFAIL 4 to apply weight to 419 scams.
For me a MINWEIGHTTOFAIL 4 is the bottom end, and I'd like to not put on an overpowering weight because of false positive potential.
I'd certainly like to apply even more weight if this failed 7 lines and even more for 10 lines.
I can't see a way of doing this short of runing the filter multiple times, and it is pretty body filter heavy.
