OT: help with SA scores

[Mark Nienberg]

 From the man page for Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf

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.
