In the messages hitting the TIME_LIMIT_EXCEEDED in our log for the past month (and examining their rule hits, score, and subject), I can say that the rule hits which triggered during the first 45 seconds of processing always yielded a reasonably good approximation of the expected final score. One would be extremely unlucky if rules that did trigger contributed a large positive score which would have been counteracted by a large negative score of one of the rules which were aborted. While it may theoretically be possible, I think that a mostly neutral default score for TIME_LIMIT_EXCEEDED is a good approximation. Assigning it a large negative score would counteract the whole idea of why this was implemented in the first place (large spam messages were often given a free pass). I'd like to keep it as it is. -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
