Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Heur Cumulative?

[R. Scott Perry]

a) are HEUR tests cumulative, e.g.:

HEUR10  heuristics  10  x   4   0
HEUR9   heuristics  9   x   4   0
HEUR8   heuristics  8   x   3   0
HEURheuristics

If the HEUR value is 0., will the weight be:

3 for HEUR8 plus 4 for HEUR9, or
only 4 for HEUR9?

They are not cumulative.  The way it works now, every E-mail is assigned a 
level from 1 (almost certainly not spam) to 10 (almost certainly is 
spam).  The weight used will only be for the one level.  So if the value is 
0., only the HEUR10 test would be triggered, with a weight of 4.

b) what about tests that have no weight assigned, how are they counted?

They aren't counted.

I will be responding to the other comments on v1.28, too, when I can.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Heur Cumulative?

Scott,

 if the value is 0., only the HEUR10 test would be triggered 

Not to be argumentative, but your sample doesn't quite fit my experiences.

a) a value of 0. doesn't seem to trigger HEUR10 - but triggers HEUR9?
So it doesn't seem as if you are using a CEILING test (or rounding).

b) If your test is GREAT/EQUAL, then a value of 9 could/should trigger the
HEUR8 and the HEUR9 test? If your test is FLOOR, then a value of 0.
would only trigger HEUR9.

Best Regards
Andy
