FW: Negative scoring MCP rule

[Richard Mealing]

That was wrong!

This would be correct!

header  __Samplerule1 Subject =~ /\bthis\b/i 

header __Samplerule2 Subject =~ /\bsubject\b/i 

header __Samplerule3 Subject =~ /\bis\b/i 

header __Samplerule4 Subject =~ /\bbanned\b/i 

meta localsamplemeta1 (__Samplerule1 && __Samplerule2 && __Samplerule3 && __Samplerule4) 

score localsamplemeta1 2 describe localsamplemeta1 subj this subj subject subj is subj banned

Hi Dave,

Maybe you could write a meta rule instead, since I'm not sure if you can write rules that have spaces between the words like that. I've not tested it.
To be sure, just write a meta and see if that works? 

So instead of this - 

header   SAMPLE_RULE1    Subject =~ /this subject is banned/i
describe SAMPLE_RULE1    Banned Subject
score    SAMPLE_RULE1    2

I'd do this - 

header  Samplerule1 Subject =~ /\bthis\b/i header Samplerule2 Subject =~ /\bsubject\b/i header Samplerule3 Subject =~ /\bis\b/i header Samplerule4 Subject =~ /\bbanned\b/i meta localsamplemeta1 (__Samplerule1 && __Samplerule2 && __Samplerule3 && __Samplerule4) score localsamplemeta1 2 describe localsamplemeta1 subj this subj subject subj is subj banned

I could be wrong :-(

Cheers,

--Rich

This doesn't work.  Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
If the both rules apply, I'd expect an MCP score of -3.

header   SAMPLE_RULE1    Subject =~ /this subject is banned/i
describe SAMPLE_RULE1    Banned Subject
score    SAMPLE_RULE1    2

body     SAMPLE_RULE2    /this text is banned/i
describe SAMPLE_RULE2    Banned body text
score    SAMPLE_RULE2    -5

Thanks,
