Thanks. But it doesn't explain how to accumulate scores between recipes.
For instance, I have a recipe for the header and a recipe for the body,
and I'd like to perform some operation if the sum of both scores is
positive.
You can just store the result from the first scoring in a variable,
and then reuse it later.
:0
* ^123^2 things to score on for header ...
{ }
HEADSCORE=$=
:0B
* ^45^1 body scoring stuff
{ }
BODYSCORE=$=
If you don't intend to do anything unless both are positive, you can
simplify things somewhat:
:0
* ^123^2 header scoring stuff ...
{
:0B
* ^45^1 things to score on in body ...
{
# stuff you do when both matched
}
}
If this is not the case, you can "reuse" the scores accumulated so far
in some fashion.
What I do when I score spam is that I gather a simple score from
Subject line matches ("FREE", "awesome", "could be yours", "MLM", etc)
and then use that as a component in subsequent recipes, like so:
# SPAM contains Subject header score, i.e. $= after Subject scoring
:0
* 2^1 ^Received: something ...
* $ $SPAM^0
spamfolder
This will permit the message to have the Received: stuff if its
Subject score stayed slightly on the negative side. But if the value
of SPAM is bigger than -2, it fires.
Hope this helps,
