Is there a way to set the required_score "on the fly" between each email

You haven't stated what you're trying to do, but you could update the
user preference between spamassassin/spamc runs, depending on your
configuration.
Hey Theo! This is Joe Schmoe. I'm the one who doesn't use spamc nor
spamd, but has a C program that calls spamassassin though Perl. The one
with the floating spam/ham dividing line. This "dividing line" is
calculated and updated by the C program on the fly after each message
and is kept outside of and independent of SpamAssassin. I was thinking
that if there was some way to move this dividing line back inside of SA
that that might be a better, more effective integration.
For example, I was thinking that the bayes_auto_learn function would be
more effective, assuming that the bayes_auto_learn_threshold_nonspam and
bayes_auto_learn_threshold_spam values are not hard coded to an
absolute frame but are kept relative to the required_score value.
There may very well be other metrics inside of SA that I am unaware of
that are somehow a function of the required_score value, since that
seems to be the key magic dividing line within SA.
I tried changing the required_score in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf
but it is unsurprisingly not rescanned/reloaded between each message
that is tested.
It's not terribly surprising imo.
I thought that's what I said. Did I put too many negatives in that sentence?
For my case, if there was just some one line text file that I could
"#include <>" that held that value, it would work great for me.
Best,
Joe
