Hi Tom,
Thanks for your explanation, I hadn't appreciated that there was higher 
precision being hidden. 

Thanks,
Geoff

Hoi Geoff,

The scores actually have a precision of 3 numerals after the dot. The
actual score of NO_RELAYS = -0.001. While rounding would still give you
3.0 as final score for this message, the actual score is below 3.

When you would have a ham/spam threshold at exactly 3, and the final
score would say '3.0', you would be asking why a message with score 3
wasn't blocked. So the 2.9 indicates that it's not 3 ;)

Kind regards,

Tom

Can anyone explain why this isn't scoring 3.0?


take your calculator:

1000/3 = ?

if you take that results with a good calculator and * 3 it will say 1000 
as a result, but most cheap ones say 999 :=)


where did that 1 go ?

A score of -0.0 is actually not 0, it is something like -0.01 (or smaller).

If it had a score of actual 0, it wouldn't trigger.

As such, due to rounding, it ends up becoming 2.9, instead of 3.
