Basic required_hits question

[Jessica Brennan <ji...@panix.com>]

My required_hits is set to 4.0 yet an email that scored 4.0 was not marked 
as spam. I thought it was supposed to be "hits equal to or greater than 
the filter level", right? I have found documents online saying that SA 
marks spam at "hits equal to or greater than the filter level" and 
documents that say it marks spam "greater than the filter level". I was 
just wondering which it was.

It's greater than or equal to.  I'm guessing that you're probably running
into http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2607.

In your case it is probably roundoff error in the display.  The actual hits
was probably 3.99 or some such, and that rounds to 4.0 in the display.  So
it looks like it should have triggered, but it was actually still a bit shy.
It is actually 'equal or greater', but with the actual numbers and not the
rounded display version.
