real numbers or integers. "SYM-BOLIC_TEST_NAME" is the symbolic name used by SpamAssassin 


for that test; for example, 'FROM_ENDS_IN_NU'. 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. 


The second score is used when Bayes is disabled, but network tests are enabled. The third score is 


used when Bayes is enabled and network tests are disabled. The fourth score is used when Bayes is

 

enabled and net-work tests are enabled. Setting a rule's score to 0 will disable that rule from running.
