I see you've assumed I didn't read that section of the docs. That is
not the case. I did, but I still don't really understand what's
going on with the math. To make my question clearer:

Would the line:

condition      = ${if >{$spam_score_int}{400}{10}{0}


be equal to:

condition      = ${if >{$spam_score_int}{40}{1}{0}


or am I going about the logic the wrong way?

So I need to get the 4 to equal 40. Easy enough with the first
number. In fact, that's what exists. The problem is when the
spam_score is greater than 100, or spam_score_init is greater than
1000. What are the next two numbers for then? The 1 and 0 were some
sort of multiplier I thought. I didn't see anything in that section
of the documentation which would let me know how that works.

Maybe it's like this past weekend when I was looking for the
watermelon in the refrigerator. I couldn't find it. My girlfriend
walked up, pulled out the container I had put the cut up watermelon
in the day before. I was looking for a big green melon and not a big
white tub of red chunks. I think I'm just getting old. =-)
