Clarifying; You can change any score yourself on your own system locally if you like, but to make no rule ever score 0.001 you'd need to fix the scores for all low-score rules every time that you run sa-update. As John Hardin says, we will not be changing the default to 0.1 in the rules distribution; that would be too significant a value. I also think that there is value in having matched rules showing up in the long form (folded header) of the SA report with "0.0" if they are intended to have no direct impact on the ham/spam decision. -- Bill Cole b...@scconsult.com or billc...@apache.org (AKA @grumpybozo and many *@billmail.scconsult.com addresses) Not Currently Available For Hire
