customizing score: what with several default values ?

[to...@absi.be]

Hi,

I need to change the scoring of a few particular rules, such as BAYES_99 
etc.

in the doc (http://spamassassin.apache.org/tests_3_1_x.html) they say i 
can just add a line like

"score BAYES_99 2.0" or whatever

a few of the scores however have several default values, dependent on 
whether net or bayes or a combination or so is activated.

does the syntax allow me to use this:

"score BAYES_99 0.0001 0.0001 4 4" ?


regards,

Tom.

You can use either syntax. If you use one score, SA will always use that 
score, no matter what scoreset is on.

If you use 4 scores, it will depend on which scoreset is used.

Your choice.

I personally prefer to use single scores for my own over-rides, and leave 
the 4-score generation for the mass-checks that the developers run.
