NAME

Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Shortcircuit − short−circuit evaluation for certain rules

SYNOPSIS

  loadplugin     Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::Shortcircuit
  report Content analysis details:   (_SCORE_ points, _REQD_ required, s/c _SCTYPE_)
  add_header all Status "_YESNO_, score=_SCORE_ required=_REQD_ tests=_TESTS_ shortcircuit=_SCTYPE_ autolearn=_AUTOLEARN_ version=_VERSION_"

DESCRIPTION

This plugin implements simple, test-based shortcircuiting. Shortcircuiting a test will force all other pending rules to be skipped, if that test is hit. In addition, a symbolic rule, "SHORTCIRCUIT", will fire.

Recomended usage is to use "priority" to set rules with strong S/O values (ie. 1.0) to be run first, and make instant spam or ham classification based on that.

CONFIGURATION SETTINGS

The following configuration settings are used to control shortcircuiting:
shortcircuit SYMBOLIC_TEST_NAME {ham|spam|on|off}

Shortcircuiting a test will force all other pending rules to be skipped, if that test is hit.

Recomended usage is to use "priority" to set rules with strong S/O values (ie. 1.0) to be run first, and make instant spam or ham classification based on that.

To override a test that uses shortcircuiting, you can set the classification type to "off".

Shortcircuits the rest of the tests, but does not make a strict classification of spam or ham. Rather, it uses the default score for the rule being shortcircuited. This would allow you, for example, to define a rule such as

  body TEST /test/
  describe TEST test rule that scores barely over spam threshold
  score TEST 5.5
  priority TEST −100
  shortcircuit TEST on

The result of a message hitting the above rule would be a final score of 5.5, as opposed to 100 (default) if it were classified as spam.

off

Disables shortcircuiting on said rule.

spam

Shortcircuit the rule using a set of defaults; override the default score of this rule with the score from "shortcircuit_spam_score", set the "noautolearn" tflag, and set priority to "−100". In other words, equivalent to:

  shortcircuit TEST on
  priority TEST −100
  score TEST 100
  tflags TEST noautolearn

ham

Shortcircuit the rule using a set of defaults; override the default score of this rule with the score from "shortcircuit_ham_score", set the "noautolearn" and "nice" tflags, and set priority to "−100". In other words, equivalent to:

  shortcircuit TEST on
  priority TEST −100
  score TEST −100
  tflags TEST noautolearn nice

shortcircuit_spam_score n.nn (default: 100)

When shortcircuit is used on a rule, and the shortcircuit classification type is set to "spam", this value should be applied in place of the default score for that rule.

shortcircuit_ham_score n.nn (default: −100)

When shortcircuit is used on a rule, and the shortcircuit classification type is set to "ham", this value should be applied in place of the default score for that rule.
