Denny,
If you read the fine manual for the spamassassin configuration file, in section
for 'score SYMBOLIC_TEST_NAME n.nn [ n.nn n.nn n.nn ]'
You'll see:
If only one valid score is listed, then that score is always used for a test.
If four valid scores are listed, then the score that is used depends on how
SpamAssassin is being used. The first score is used when both Bayes and network
tests are disabled (score set 0). The second score is used when Bayes is
disabled, but network tests are enabled (score set 1). The third score is used
when Bayes is enabled and network tests are disabled (score set 2). The fourth
score is used when Bayes is enabled and network tests are enabled (score set 3).
So when there are four score values it will use the one relevant to your SA's
operating condition.
EG: if the rule is senstive to the presence of network type tests, such as
DNSRBLs, the score can be adjusted accordingly.

Hello,
I have looked high and low and can't find an explanation for multi-level
scoring:
score SCC_CANSPAM_2 3.799 0.001 3.799 0.00
What does this mean?
In my simplistic way of doing things I would write this as:
score SCC_CANSPAM_2 3.799
Thanks for helping clear the mud in my mind!
