I hope I write this correctly. The threshold has to be a number and not an indication. The counts many, ok, ok2, are used in the X-DCC Headers. It is not the actual count supplied to the client. The number in the docs for many is 999999 and not 9999. So it is really saying that the number 999999, which is the default and means many for the header purpose, is the threshold at which SA will consider the test positive and give it points. It might make a little more sense if after you read the conf doc: http://useast.spamassassin.org/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Conf.html To take a look at the dccproc doc: http://www.dcc-servers.net/dcc/dcc-tree/dccproc.html Hope this helps! --Larry ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by OSDN developer relations Here's your chance to show off your extensive product knowledge We want to know what you know.
