using V2 the following is the case (and mostly this is also happen to V1)

>Thus more files, more reliability.
there is no reason to use more files - more files -> more confusing minds
Just learn something (some more) about Perl regular expressions - and 
you'll see that 2/3 files are enough

>scriptRe 
is still available (and you can combine files, moving the lines to an 
other one)

>that more than one line would be tested
all lines are tested - all bombs are detected - but the resulting penalty 
is restricted to bombMaxPenaltyVal
only the matching bomb with the highest PBvalue is logged per default - if 
you want to see all, set BombLog to verbose

>each spambomb file should test each line till the end
No - headerbomb files are testing the header - databomb files testing the 
data - black, script and suspiciouse are testing the complete mail

this is the case

this is the case

it is as flexible as possible - and yes you have to think about what you 
want to do - and some mathematics will help

this works! - and what has BlackRe to do with URIBL?
all bomb tests blocking whitelisted mails if bombReWL is selected

Please keep in mind: V1 is for beginners - V2 is much more flexible, but 
also much more complex   - before you switch to V2

Re: [Assp-test] Antwort:  Spambomb problems and suggestions.






Hi my reasons are:
- More small sums added gives more reliability 
and less false positives than a large amount 
added just once. Thus more files, more reliability.
- Users (sysadmins) could maintain their own 
spambomb lists without the risk of one being 
eliminated as happened with scriptRe today (I had 
this idea for months, but this tricked me to make the post).
- it is not clear (at least I did not find) 
anywhere that could assure me that more than one 
line would be tested in a particular spambomb 
file. I still believe that it stops once it finds 
the first line that evaluates to truth, rendering 
the weighting system not very useful. Please 
inform if misunderstood it somehow.
- if we want granularity, each spambomb file 
should test each line till the end and sum the 
weights. If lines do not have weigh, the weight should be 1.
- It should be allowed negative weights in all 
files, so I could have suspicious words with 
positive weights and desirable words with 
negative weights in the same file. That would be cool.
-If one decides to change the main valence for a 
spambomb file, than he MUST revise the entire 
file and change all line weights according to the 
new value to avoid those lines crossing the 
threshold and giving unexpected dangerous 
results. This alone has kept me from using weights!
- The current weighting system is a bit weird (or 
at least unusual) and somewhat difficult to 
decide what weight we are going to give to a line 
because of the two weights systems based on a 
threshold. One have to think a lot before 
deciding the weight and the consequences. It 
would be easier with no threshold switching and 
just multiplier weights or different typing lines 
for absolute or multiplying weights. (In short: 
if the weighting system is difficult to 
understand, than multiple files would be 
preferable. Writing the weighted lines in a 
subtle different way for multiplying or absolute weight would be welcome).

Additional info:
- BlackRe - Regular Expression to Identify Spam 
Strictly** (blackRe) should work and BLOCK mails 
by itself including whitelisted ones, but it 
still lets emails with whiza_dot_net andother URIBL pass.

Thanks,
