No -- that determines a weight at which filter processing
will stop. But it sounds like you want the filter to only
return a weight if multiple lines match.
Great idea!
In my opinion it should return only a non-zero result if a certain NUMBER
of lines match. (not a certain weight is

Since we are running IMail (ie Windows) what is the performance of the

you are going to run a Windows DNS server would you recommend running it
on the IMail box or on another one?

I use Matt's modified copy of Kami's Nigerian Scam list as a test.
I then use a combo test with Nigerian Scam and Sniffer-Scams (return code 53) or
Nigerian-Scam Sniffer-Experimental (return code 62) to assign an additional punishment
of 10 points.
Matt's Nigeria-scam list can be found at:
It sounds like a feature request!
The only way I though I can get around my original problem, was possibly this:
Run my Nigerian-scams filter first.
Add a Weight1, weight2, and Weight 3. test
Run a tests filter, If weight 1, drop one point. If weight 2 drop 2 points. If weight
3 drop 3 points.

Good to know. Hadn't heard of problems with Windows DNS, but had heard of

The one thing I don't like about Windows DNS is the inability to enumerate

correct? Or do they work in tandum.

According to a note I found in the archives, CMDSPACE needs Imail v8, with
SMTP-Authentication, and AUTOWHITELIST ON in global.cfg to work correctly.
Otherwise, you get false positives from Outlook clients.
Not quite correct. AUTOWHITELIST is not needed in conjunction with CMDSPACE.
